RE: [papercreters] okay, so what about foundations? How to do that?



Google rubble trench foundations. Frank Lloyd Wright used them.

I am sorry, Judith, but around here if you did that the house wouldn't last very long.
I would use a 42" frost footing and pour concrete up above the ground then start with the papercrete.

A person digs a trench and fills it with gravel then builds with papercrete on top of it.

Walls and roofs seem to be the easy part. But what about foundations? I don't know how heavy papercrete is but I am betting a lot of it would weigh something, see? And so you don't want the ground to shift and crack your hard work, or worse, break it. So Does anybody have some stories on foundations? Does a person dig a trench and fill it with papercrete? Does a person dig a a square, then a couple channels across and then just pour papercrete on top of it all? What?
