Thanks for this thread of cardboard vs newspaper... Getting started I found out this spring that in my area, the "easy free paper" and newsprint (with local papers circulation dying) was collected by the big recycle companies.... so was disappointed to not have a "within reach source"... then this thread of cardboard is the only source that I see available in mass quantities to actually build a small house... Vincecrete had pics up on his three blade mixer, which I have not learned yet how to cut the blades or how to attach to a pole to a motor... another learning curve... I weld but do not have a cutting torch... so my question would be if one had access to a chipper/shredder and shredded the cardboard first, then soaked it, then threw it into a cement mixer with pumice, portland and a bit of sand... do you think that or the pressure washer method of pulverizing the cardboard then adding the mix to it... any ideas welcomed... as for me to accomplish something this fall will have to be cardboard... thanks Laura --- On Mon, 7/13/09, JUDITH WILLIAMS <williams_judith@hotmail.com> wrote:
