Yes, I remember that. We had some scheme cooked up to avoid lifting anything wet and heavy. I still have that as one of my goals, mix and dump in place, let the hose move the water. I don't mind lifting small amounts of cement and dry paper. This one would do well on top of a scaffold capable of holding 1/2 ton or so safely. An elephant trunk valve on the side/bottom could then dump directly into forms. With paper prepared instead of in a compressed old bale the mix time could have been five minutes instead of the fifteen in the video. I've already drawn a better model based on this but much lighter. This one takes a little motivation to use. Today I didn't find the right junk in the pile.
Remember we talked about putting a mixer like this up above the forms on some sort of track (?), moving it along as you go. I find the hardest part of building with papercrete is getting the slurry up to the tops of the wall forms. Of course I'm talking about slip form construction.
