[papercreters] Newbie

Hello everyone,
My Hubby and I have been looking into alternative ways to building a
house. We live in a house that is over 100 years old and we are
looking build another house on our property. We both love nature and
we weren't sure what to go with, we have been looking at Cordwood,
Strawbale, Stone, and now have come across Papercrete. We live in New
Brunswick, Canada so our winters are cold and summers are hot, and we
tend to get the tail end of some hurricanes, so what we are looking
for is what will work best for us. We have been doing some research
and I have yet to read all the posts on here, with 4 kids makes it
hard to sit down and read..lol. Has anyone build a Papercrete house
that has winters most of the time. And does anyone have a good recipe
for making it. Everywhere we read so far it has been different...We
are looking for waterproof, mildew proof, etc. I am hoping to learn
alot here and be able to implement it into our new house.
Thanks for this group,
Heather & Rick
P.S. We are trying to get ride of our power bill to, they just keep
climbing and our house is not very energy efficient. So we want to go
Solar, composting toilet, energy efficient HOME, etc.
