Hi all, After our life changing forest, canyon, range fire not sure if I would ever trust papercrete as our fire burnt between 3000/4000 degrees according to the rangers. But using a 3/1.....4/1 mixture of portland to.paper makes it very expensive for us. The thing that had attracted me was a lower cost product compared to the machines soil mixture demanded by Rammed Earth. Our earth bags have fallen and they needed an additional coat of adobecrete. Until we find a very lowcost method we will not build. As we all age strenuous hard labor is a no go. Or is much easier to stick build. I.do not like stick houses but those earth bags are darn heavy and filling them with a number #10 can is totally stupid. It would take you a year to do one wall if you work 12/14 hour days and drive. 1.5 hours each way to work. Alternative is in.my heart but when some jerk comes and gives you a $53,000.00 bid to dig a hole to build an under ground house something is wrong. Charging $100 per hour is beyond our means. When a home needs to be your business and your home a green house a place for live stock it can not be like LaMars 450-600 squad fro cabin for four people etc. We have not one piece of equipment to do any of the work. To get it serviced means a 1-4 hour drive one way. To spend the gas rent a flatbed for. 50 a mile is not practical or financially within our means. How do you all do it? We have been working on our place for going on nine yrs and now it is 100% loss. So starting over is worse than heartbreaking. Cheaper not backbreaking and doable in a yrs time is what we need.

It worked OK but it isn't as strong as "normal" pc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbBxpDTFduc&list=UUddwM6czxcAvBUvIXWvln2A&index=16 Look around my channel and you'll see a couple of other mixer designs that work better/faster. You can't just go out and buy one, though :) On 5/26/2013 12:14 PM, MotherReiver wrote:
