It’s good to know someone in the same boat as I am, with income fixed at "not enough"! You should be a writer; your gift of expression is great! Your sig is great, too!
My interest in papercrete isn't so much for building -- not a chance anyone around here would OK such a thing -- but in art and crafts and interior structure. Stuff like making molded ceiling/wall coverings, partitions, architectural "details" and such. For example, I want to replace a couple of broken "bull's-eye" corner trims on my
My house is old (1929) and needs some basic work. Anything I'd do with 'crete would have to be sneaky!
I watch this list and don't participate -- mostly I dream about what CAN be done and I gripe at the lack of imagination, inventiveness, adventure, experiment of the PTB.
"That's the way we've always done it," is anathema to my way of thinking!

Clarissa, Rodeo, NM, and horses

WoW! That's what I get for not paying attention! I missed the whole
first part of Clarissa's posts. Welcome, Clarissa!
I love Rodeo - almost bought land there about 6 years ago, but couldn't
find anything on the NM side, and AZ is too picky about permits and
inspections. (It could cost more for that stuff than the house costs, I
think!) The greatest thing is the short distance to the
ecosystems.
When you say "we" are going, does that mean you're married or have a
partner-in-crime? I'm a single, middle-aged - well, okay, pretty old -
lady with an old horse, three dogs, two cats, a horse trailer, and an
old truck. Any possibility we could share a piece of land and help each
other? My health is not good enough to build by myself, but I have a
fair knowledge of electric, plumbing, and basic construction. My income
is fixed at "not enough", so I can't afford to go anything alone.
I guess before I laid all that info out, I should have waited for a
response about your family circumstances. lol..
