I'm excited about putting UP a post & beam structure approx 17 X 12 ft. which will include a porch deck.( my new CLAY studio !! ) I*'m plan to frame it our w/ 24 " between 2" X 4" post & larger corner post. I'm thinking of using papercrete infill between perhaps 1 X 12 tagged on across the beams. horazontally .. & then pour papercrete in the form. I'm thinking of putting nails / screws in the beams to secure it due to shrinkage. ( And then fill cracks after drying.) and then .. of course work my way UP each day... to the top. Expectations on shrinkage. I hear that more cement will lessen the shrinkage. Any other tips ? I probably won't actually start this infix until next spring ... as the season will soon change. ( N CA )
THANKS in advance for any tips or suggested formulas. The mix I know be 85% pulp... 10 % earth, 5 % portland cement.
