Hi we bought an old old old old fixer upper house. We can not afford to rebuild after the fire last yr. The siding on.this house is bad very very bad. Can not afford to replace. I.do have a free supply of burlap bags. Could we dip them in papercreate and nail them up or is somekind of cheap cement mix. It looks so bad and I would love to do something this fall. Please any and all ideas welcome. C |

| a company touting GREEN building sells huge sheets of styrofoam with a cladding of chicken wire(basically) on both sides, once assembled ( it clicks together at corners, you could invent your own version), it's then shotcreted with cement. there is a huge industry around this method of using cement and foam..houses go up fast, and much cheepers than stickbuilt. the huge 4x8 panels are so light the workers get blown off the roof in windy weather , like holding a 'kite' at the ITSA (a ferrocement group who use cement and mesh) gathering in 2004 & 2005 we saw several companies with the same type idea of sandwich mesh with foam. also waste bubblewrap was rolled up and flat sheets are glued to both sides to make panels..etc. but none of these ideas involves papercrete. I am going to upload this book to my site so anyone can access it free. PRESCRIPTIVEMETHOD-InsulatedFormsBOOK.pdf 200 pages by HUD Book: Prescriptive method of insulating concrete forms in residential construction. 1.6 MB size, very thorough, if you want ideas on applying these design to papercrete. Mike Mcain was also big on pouring huge 'gang panels" like 6 of them with huge sheets of ply in-between, boxed in with heavy ply, with drain screen on bottom. took a while to cure dry gives me a few hours to get this book uploaded to my site Charmaine Charmaine Taylor/Publishing & Elk River Press PO Box 375 Cutten CA 95534 www.papercrete.com Michel de Montaigne: "The most manifest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness."
