[papercreters] How good is it?

I have been following, with passing interest, papercrete for several years. I think it is a great idea! But I have a few questions for the vets.
1) I live in Nova Scotia Canada. The climate here is humid even in the winter the wet cold is harsh. Most of the buildings that I see are in the south west United States. Do you think that papercrete will hold in a wet environment?
2) Has anyone tried slip form walls with papercrete? Pouring wet papercrete on top of a partly cured wall to add height.
3) What is the best recipe?
4) I thought I saw a sandbag foundation, how does that work?
5) I have seen papercrete shot onto a wire frame. How is that structurally?

So many questions so little time. Please respond. I look forward to your answers.

Thanks
Dan
