I am looking to buy a house that has an addition (2 stories) recently
added to it by a do it your-selfer. She made her own papercrete blocks
with recycled paper and portland concrete. They are
4" x 14" thick and she used them for insulation on the outside walls.
It is basically- outside wall, papercrete block holding wieght and then
2 x 2 boards to tack the sheet rock on..
This is in North Western Wyoming, were it can be cold and windy with
lots of snow, but not much rain.
My question is- most importantly, are there any mold issues?
-what do papercrete walls do to the value of the home (it's built in
1973)
and
-how well do they insulate and what is the life span?
I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks,
Heather
