Re: [papercreters] Re: ] Recipe for Newbie

What is situ? And why would I build walls to pump paper Crete into? I have been on this list for years and we usually talk about slip form structures. We are 4 miles by cow path only off a little used country road off a little used highway. Maybe 100 cars per day on the highway and our gravel road may have a high of 7 cars/pickups a day , then more in the summer because of the river. Before they cut a road through a ranch for river access it may have had 2 or three cars a day if that. Wilderness building is totally different than country building. So anyone totally off grid and a greater distance from civilization? Calle Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

At that temp everything fails. Timber burns, steel softens and collapses, everything but masonry can't survive. No building material or technique is perfect. Papercrete survives fire for a long time if there's adequate sand content, it actually performs quite well in a fire. But its not perfect, it can smoulder and keep on smouldering for hours afterwards, correct treatment is needed after a fire. Its also quite good workwise if you use a trashpump to get the mix into the wall, using shuttering to pour the walls in situ. --- In papercreters@yahoogroups.com, calle vallede <valledecalle@...> wrote: > > 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.
