RE: [papercreters] Papercrete roof panels?

I have done 2 papercrete roofs. I just continued the walls right up and over the top. Pics are in my blog. I have noticed some cracks at corners of doors and around the perimeter of the roof itself. I think adding more cement to the mix would have prevenedt this. I plan to go around and fill all cracks with expandable foam before plastering. I am no expert on this. Just learning as I go along. I would think the Currys in TX had done some papercrete roofs. They are not in this group but have a blog. I will give the link in the next email.
 
I also experimented with roof panels. I made them about 30" x 48". I made the form, poured half the slurry, set a piece of wire fence over that (in the middle) then poured the rest. It is important to let it set up completely before moving it. I moved mine too early and they warped.
