Yay! Thanks Judith! I will follow in your footsteps and trust in the "forgiving" part. Some bloggers are way off the techie scale for my small projects. Started looking at your little house last night, but it got kinda late. Thanks for the help...I so appreciate your efforts and the fact that you're willing to take the time to chronicle your work...keep it up! Blessings today...

I soak the paper and use that when I measure. I notice the insulation shrinks down some when it's wet. I would say the most important thing is to be consistent. Having said that I will add that I am not too particular about measurements. I just get it close. I find papercrete is very forgiving. But I am just doing this for myself. I suppose that if I were doing this professionally or for another person I would be more precise.
