I’ve held this for awhile, wondering whether to answer you privately. Is it proper to carry on a conversation about this on the list or would it be considered a bother?
I am VERY interested in what I can learn about historic restoration – canvas and plaster of paris included!

Hi Nancy,
I guess there are 3 of us, then, because Dusty is responsible for coining the 'income fixed at not enough' comment. I am trying to learn everything that I can soak up from the papercrete info but I have a long way to go. My goal is to take not only my home but a fair sized horse operation 'off the grid'. Papercrete appears to have the potential to be a big part of that but still, only one part.
I did a lot of historic restoration work in the eighties and might have a few answers for your bullseyes and plastered ceilings. An ancient artisan taught me how to work with wet canvas and plaster of paris.... and it got past the preservationists....
Part of the reason I'm leaving NC and going to NM is all the things that they won't allow.
