Re: [papercreters] Re: Ed Conley - Project Photos / Followup Mail

I totally agree with the approach of building test structures before leaping into a major project full fury, however, when you do, you have to realize that building something on the scope of a full sized house presents problems you may not encounter while building your shed or doghouse. Aside from the fact that your material may not scale up to a larger structure there are the normal issues that come up. Things take longer, inspections may be required, other trades may be involved, weather may not be cooperative, etc...

I've got to absolutely and whole-heartedly agree. Test, test, test! Build
small. DO NOT make your first project an entire multi-story house . . .
EVER. Even if you have *expert* help, don't make your first project a whole
house. Make a room, a shed, a shelter, a wall, a doghouse.

Hey! Doghouse! I need to make dog houses for this winter! Domes!! <evil
laugh> Form . . . porous forms . . . how am I going to make short silo
shaped porous forms . . . REUSABLE porous forms . . .
