RE: [papercreters] Re: tiles



Well I don't think I'm using that much paper on my 184sf building. I think I have used 5 bales of cardboard so far, although I may be wrong. I can't remember how many I've used but I think I'll need 2 or 3 more. Don't know how much they weigh either. It takes 2 people to get them into the truck. Not a very helpful answer I'm afraid. One thing I want to say is that if I thought about how much paper it would take before I got started then I may not go through with it. It seems less overwhelming to acquire the materials as I go along.

Sincerely, Judith

A typical mix will have about 60+ pounds of paper to yield in the range of 15 cubic feet of end product. So, four pounds per cubic foot more or less depending on your mix. For a 64'x4'x1' thick wall somewhere in the range of 1,000 pounds. Close to two tons for that studio, assuming 8' walls and not including the roof, which would take maybe another 1/2 ton.  Keep in mind these are approximate WAG figures, YMMV, etc.

Yep. I don't think I want the rusty look. I'm so glad I found a great paper recycle resource at CNM (a college) where I teach. But I'm clueless as to how much paper I will actually need to build say a 64 foot perimeter 4' high wall or a 250 sq. ft. art studio. Any ideas?????

Sounds like that would work, worth a try. Doris
