RE: [papercreters] Re: My Foam House

Well,
For someone new to my house, I have to explain...... I did not do a
foundation, didn't feel I needed it, but after long conversations on this
and other lists I was convienced I needed something to hook my roof
into..(The foam wall not being eough) so the floor is bagged cement at 4000
psi. along the wall on the floor is a wooden frame that I'll be attaching a
upright frame too that my truses will attach to so the roof will get extra
support from the added framing and the cap that goes over the top of the
wall. (as in a strawbale house)

It took 170-80lbs bags. 13,600 lbs for my floor. If it does not slide down
the hill nothing will....LOL!

My walls will be paper create covered.

Duct tape is like 'The Force'. It has a light side and a dark side, and it
holds the universe together.
