Hmmmmmmm.
Judith... throws a hose on the ground and just starts building.
Nori... draws 73,067,743 different plans (last time I checked) and
gets frustrated.
There must be a compromise somewhere!
If they got together to collaborate on a building, would it be a good
idea? Would they take advantage of each other's strengths and come
up with a design really quick?
I don't have the answers, but I'm certain I would love to see
pictures of what they came up with. It would be an interesting
structure!

call an "intuitive" builder. I laid out my house by laying a 100'
hose on the ground and moving it around til I had the shape I wanted.
Then I grabbed a shovel and started digging. When I did the math to
order my roofing roughsawn I treated it as a rectangle and figured I
had about 1000 sf. The blocks are 13" wide so the walls will end up
being that plus however thick the plaster is. Hope this helps. Let me
know. Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it.

new on this list, so I apologize if you've already posted this, but
what are the specs on your project?Teresa Howell (who almost wishes
she'd heard about papercrete before she started her strawbale house,
and who is now wondering how to incorporate papercrete in it now.)---
