Re: [papercreters] papercrete basketball court?

Hi Red, In my town, they poured a papercrete long jump running path for the high school.  We are in a dry mountainous climate, little snow, lots of rain in winter.  It has been there three years and looks great.  No cracking or wear and no extra coat over it. An extra coat seems like it would just be more places for cracking and failure. michele --- On Wed, 5/27/09, redlunarmoon <redlunarmoon@yahoo.com> wrote: From: redlunarmoon <redlunarmoon@yahoo.com> Subject: [papercreters] papercrete basketball court? To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 6:02 AM Good day, my friend wants to build a basketball court around 40 foot square, 4 inches thick and I suggested we look at papercrete maybe as an interesting experiment. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas what we might want to do. It'll be located in a dry climate so rain isn't much of an issue but there maybe thunderstorms and a small amount of snow in the winter. I am thinking maybe we coat the whole thing at the with a thin layer of concrete or something to make it smooth. Thanks in advance for your advice, Conrad
