Very cool. Thanks Susan.
From time to time it is common for someone to want to take a
papercrete tour. That is one reason the map exists.
Ideally we'll eventually collect critical data about the different
structures and put it all in a database. If we collected information
about what papercrete recipe was used, construction technique, and
maintenance and repair histories we could learn a lot about how
things perform over time. This should help us all continue to
improve and build better and better structures.
For now, just having a list of projects and where they are will be
great. Walk before we run. (or pedal)
Should we organize the PBT? Nooo, I'm not talking about bowling!
The Papercrete Bicycle Tour of course! hehehe Ya think we'd get
many participants to go on a bicyle parade of papercrete homes?
