You can always count on me to say "Go for it!". I would try the slip form method on a small portion, just be sure which ever way you do it to keep the papercrete well up off the ground. It soaks up standing water (does OK with rain that hits it though). What will you use to mix your slurry? How lucky you are to have land with something on it to work with. Keep us posted.

Hi all,
I have been intrigued by papercrete for about 2 years now. I first
discovered it when looking for an alternative to standard masonry for
some walls at mu home. I'm a mason by trade but really like the light
weight and form possibilities of the papercrete. Oh and the money
savings as well as what a great use for waste paper..
Right now I am looking at going ahead with really researching how to
build these walls. I have a half ace lot that has a really nice 12-13"
deep x 8" footing all the way down both sides that has chain link and
2" steel poles about every 10'. I was thinking of forming
papercrete "tilt up" walls or placing forms on either sides of the
existing fencing and pouring them sections at a time.
I'm gonna search the posts and see what I can find, in the mean time.
I would appreciate any comments on this idea.
Thanks.
