<sigh> and I even ran spell check before I posted. Sadly I didn't
spell check the subject line.

The needed testing equipment will focus on using common everyday
items we all have laying around. The procedures should be simple
enough that most anyone can perform most of the tests. This testing
program is not intending to produce fancy official documents. The
expectations are to generate some good approximate numbers for
reference. Highly precise calibrated results are not practical using
this technique. We should be able to learn a lot more about our
favorite material and be able to have one person's results confirmed
by another volunteer tester. We will use this informal testing as a
guide to determine what makes sense to pursue for inclusion in a
Papercrete Building Code. Our informal testing will be critical in
narrowing down the possibilities and helping us make

Every member of papercreters should be interested in constantly
improving and learning even after papercrete is part of the building
code.

They will work closely with AJ Welmers, our Recipe Researcher, to see
that all the data is collected and input into our database for
everyone to refer to. This volunteer will also be a primary contact
person for members that are interested in performing some testing.
They will advise members as needed in helping them setup their own
home testing system. This may be one of the most interesting
positions on our Code Team. If you enjoyed high school chemistry lab
or physics lab, you'll appreciate what we are trying to accomplish.
If science is your thing, you'll enjoy this.
