[papercreters] Re: Insulation Calculator

It would be a wonderful help if you could make such a chart for
papercrete--for those of us who lack construction experience, are new
to papercrete and can't quite grasp the construction-ese in some of
the R-value links posted.

Robert and I are having difficulty determining how thick we should
make our walls in our dome to keep out the summer bake and the high
wintery winds--often 60-80 mph.
