To make the papercrete form blocks I pour papercrete into the
horizontal mold
3" thick and then poke in 9" pieces of chain link fence wire standing
uprite. The wire comes in a zig zag pattern and it dries into the
papercrete side. I then pour the hi mass side concrete or earth
plaster and push the exposed wires from the papercrete block into the
setting Hi Thermal Mass side. This gives me a papercrete exterior and
a plastered or concrete hi thermal storing wall inside. I do use
vernicle re bars in the middle (32" OC) and a 1/2" horizontal bar every
4' (2 in an 8' wall). The result is 9" of insulation outside and a 3"
high thermal mass inside. My homes already use insulated slab floors
with pex tubing for radiant heat. I either stucco or side the outside
for looks. I have had good luck with just painting the Stucco and have
not had any water problems. I build in North Dakota and Arizona.
