I am confident that papercrete can be used in the Midwest. It will
be important to get the details correct. It will be important to add
enough stuff to the paper (cement/lime/borax) to inhibit mold
growth.
Like any structure built out of anything in the Midwest, it will be
important to seal it properly. It will be important to use vapor
barriers. Using a foundation system and sill sealers that will allow
the papercrete wall to sit high and dry above grade will also be a
factor. Then there is the minor detail of having a good roof. heh
heh. Good roof overhangs will also help greatly.
Cutting corners in any of these areas is likely to cause problems.
