[papercreters] Structural Insulated Panels

http://www.achfoam.com/ACH/media/audiovideo/SIPs/R-Control/short_version_dialup.wmv

I was looking over this site and thought to myself, if papercrete could be poured like the EPS foam between two sheets of OSB, and the shrinkage problem could be solved we could all make our own SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) which are ICC approved due to the way they are installed in the house walls and roofs. The thought struck me to use Hydrolic Cement instead of plain old Portland, it expands while drying, that might solve the srinkage problem. I'm going to try some experiments and check it out. This could be great if it works. OSB is only about $7.00 a 4x8 sheet that would be 32 sq ft of wall area for under $20.00 including everything that would have to go into it.
