[papercreters] Re: pannels

You can enbedd your 6x6 post in a solid wall and still do your plumbing
and wireing at the same time. I know 12' on center is good for infill
but I perfer 8' on center, either one will work just fine. Vision if you
will your 6x6 post, Screw a 2x2 up and down the length of the post, lay
out your form boards (they should be at least 2x6 but can be 2x12. Screw
these boards on each side of the 6x6 to the center of the 2x2, stack
them as high as you like, be sure and drill holes in the slab or footing
and insert rebar at least 2'oc 1'oc is better. This will give you a 9"
wall over all, you can make this wall even thicker by using something
thicker in place of the 2x2. also don't forget to put nails or screws
into the 6x6 to give somethin for the PC to hold onto. Doris and Ron
have some fine examples of this in their house. It is much easier to
pour this stuff in place than to have to drag around heavy panels and
then have to worry about wheither or not you attached the panels right
or not.

The only way to do this would be to put the inside wall on the inside of
the 6" post. Also I think the limit of a solid wall to lift and the
drying time of the slab wall would limit a wall section to be around 3
1/2" thick by 3' wide 8' tall. It would be very easy to run electrical
when working on the inside of the outer wall. I have not ruled out
making a single wall with hollow core that would be poured in one piece.
I am being slightly hurried to finalize plans an I am open to
suggestions. Mike Joyce
