[papercreters] Papercrete/Cordwood Combo?

We need your real world opinions about a future 1200 sq. ft. house of
cordwood/papercrete mortar in Colorado at 8400 ft. An additional 12"
papercrete wall outside of the cordwood wall could be added for
additional insulation. We are 50-ish, have bad elbows, but lots of spunk
and perseverence. Although there are many other construction techniques
that could be utilized for thermal mass other than wood, we think this
is the only one we can do with our crew of 2 (us). I'd love to hear your
thoughts about this idea in cold climates. We're off grid, so everything
comes at a premium. Thanks!
