I live in an area where free sawdust is plentiful and (having no tow
mixer) shredding paper is time
consuming and a hassle. So I decided to build my wall with a
sawdust/clay slip as my thermal mass
insulation core. I used forms to tamp in the sawdust/clay mix (6.5").
Used an earthen plaster (1.5") on the inside
and a cordwood mortared veneer (5.5") on the outside, all utilizing the
philosophy to use what's at hand.
I used a white clay/shredded paper mix to fill in the gable. The thing I
love about Natural Building is utilizing
what seems best to use with what you have available. Papercrete, cob,
strawbale, earthbags, sawdust, etc...
