Hello Susan & Tom, Welcome!
I've been aware of your project for a while now, but didn't know how
to contact you to ask if you wanted to join in our merry little band
of paper pulpers. I'm glad you found us.
The pictures you posted look great. Can you share more detail?
What did you use for foundation?
Is there reinforcement in the walls?
Wall construction method? (blocks, slipform, monopour/cast in place,
etc.)
Were multiple mixes used for different applications?
What were your papercrete recipes?
Waterproofing strategy?
We have a lot of very new members recently from all over the world,
please don't assume everyone knows what Central Texas is like.
For those that may not be familiar with your local climate, please
share what it is and how that impacted your design decisions.
I could ask a thousand more questions, but I won't bury you on your
first day. :)
