Regarding it looking like a cargo container, just so you know- I have built with papercrete
using my own free labor, but if you were to actually hire folks to run the equipment and build
a papercrete house, it would likely be cheapest just to coat cargo containers with papercrete,
rather than try to build a load bearing papercrete wall system and bond beam or post and
beam with papercrete infill, and then framing a roof of some kind. Plus, cargo containers are
getting past code in California and all over the world in small and large construction alike;
there's precedent. They can't burn so inspectors may be fine with coating them with a
relatively untested insulator such as papercrete instead of the current trend of using rigid
foam insulation on the exterior of buildings and then giving that a stucco coat. One might be
able to get the major inspections taken care of without code being concerned with what
comprises the 'stucco' coat: one could consider papercrete as a thick alternative stucco and I
might be wrong, but perhaps inspections aren't required for stucco work? I'm in rural AZ and
don't have to worry about codes at the moment.
