Danggggg Clyde a whole week coolnesssss well I have found my love in pc. Its slipforming I have sprayed, bricked, hand thrown, and bigblocked like Mike in N.M.. But nothing speaks volumes better I think then my newest way to sling pc. Two 4x8 sheets of plywood with 2x4 braces in the sandwich little wire threading to hold a couple of plates to width. Mix and pour mix and pour fill it to the top, let set cut the wire move the panel up or over with about 1/2 foot overlap from the last pour. My only problem is keeping enough paper on hand.

Ah! Tilt up- everyone is always trying to figure a way to save time -
that is good I guess, however let us not miss the forest for the
trees- folks are so scared of just laying up bricks and mortar - did
it not occur to you that the bricks can be as light as 4 pounds a
piece if dry and properly made - I am here to tell tell you that after
7 years playing with papercrete ( I'm building 10,000 square feet ) If
anyone can show me a better way than the 6-7000 year old method of
laying up bricks, then they can have a week free at www.evesgarden.org
- We need to get this show on the road so please ask us about our
simple system of papercrete building - remember the Village is more
important than the materials it is built of - We Build fire resistant,
dimensionally stable, cost effective and we hope beautifull structures
on a continueing basis and we have no structural or other problems -
this was not always so it took 700 tests , but we are there, and we
want to share the results - we need hands and are headed towards
becoming an educational establishment WE need people who are as
dynamic as you - just thoughts - bricks and mortar - Clyde T. Curry
