RE: [papercreters] Another papercrete house completed.



I know of one or two papercrete houses built with permits in the  Farming ton NM area. Lex Terry knows the guy who did them. He is an iron worker so did a post and beam with welded metal pipes. Lex also put a papercrete addition on his house and built a papercrete shop. I believe he had permits for those. I don't think Lex is a member of this group but he is on Facebook.

Anyone familiar with using Papercrete would know that this kind of building is totally doable and makes a safe comfortable dwelling. The problem is unless you want to relocate to some remote area of the country and try to fly under the code/permit radar it is not possible. Is there any answer or hope forthcoming? I doubt it as the bureaucratic infrastructure is not about to relinquish their control. Too much money and too many jobs to perpetuate in the system  for this to happen. So all these videos and pictures and stories of people building papercrete houses is just good for a warm fuzzy and nothing else.

I'm surprised that when I searched the message archives that I never found a reference to this YouTube video.

Looks like it was built somewhere in Texas based upon some of the designs, but I'm just guessing.
