Re: [papercreters] Inexperienced newbie

Hi Betsy,

I travel to Panama regularly and work with PC pretty frequently. I think you should consider another building material for that climate. I don't see how you will ever get your mixes to dry out and stay dry in a tropical region.

Have you considered ferrocement? I work with FC quite a bit as well and see that as being ideal for Panama. You have plenty of rebar, cement, and various types of wire mesh readily available. There are dozens of great books on ferrocement and the mailing list is a excellent resource http://ferrocement.net

Hi everyone.  I've been lurking around reading all your posts.  

Great info and imaginations here!

I live in the mountains of Panama, about 4500', and we get rain at 

least 6 months of the year.  Of course, my question is how well will PC 

hold up under this huge amount of humidity?  I've got some projects in 

mind, even have a huge load of paper ready, but should I even start 

something?
