John, this is so interesting and helpful, keep the good info coming.
You hit on our main dream for a home, a dome home, so I'm interested in
your four layers of concrete-soaked burlap over the rebar. Now to make
the walls 12 inches thick for maximum insulation, would we be able to
spray the papercrete-clay-lime mix per Merrill's formula on the inside
of such a dome without having to erect a second layer of rebar or other
reinforcement to support that papercrete, since papercrete seems to
have a tendency to want to only stick to itself. Would it adhere well
to the concrete mortar or not? I am thinking of Mikely Sclar's dome
where he seemed to sandwich the papercrete between two layers of metal
supports.
What are you, John, going to do to insulate your present yute-shaped
home? How would you insulate it if you were building a dome instead?
Thanks a million!
Connie
