Hempcrete Blocks.....

[loplug]

Does any one have any experience of working with these? about to start a job made from Hempcrete Blocks and wondering if any one has worked with this material before, its a new one to me any advice on fixings would be fantastic. Otherwise it will be a case of suck it and see on site.

Goodness, I have some catching up to do!
I always thought it was a cop out but the two rewire updates I’m doing at the moment crumble with a 25mm backbox chased in and the red plugs go through to the next room for goodness sake. The other house has foam filled hollow breeze blocks! No wonder all these houses were surface trunked and boxed.

You can't hang anything heavy on it even a shelf would be pushing it as its a thermal breathable insulator if you paint the blocks it needs to be lime based.
