Re: [papercreters] Re: Domes and spraying papercrete / tilt up construction

The largest panels that I have tried were 4'x8'x6". IIRC the mix had little to no portland cement. They took a long time to dry due to several thunderstorms. I was impatient and tried to move them before they were ready so they broke. I used a circular saw to cut the remains into smaller pieces that were used for other purposes. Overall not a satisfactory experiment.

 Any experience casting large panels (like 8' or 10' x 20') and tilt up construction?  If one could cast an entire wall on the ground, with doors and windows framed in, this could save a lot of time and energy.  Would need a loader/lift to pick it up, and some way of attaching the panels to the footer and perhaps a beam or something on top...  Would love to hear if others have any experience with this.   -Eli      Yahoo!
