Two days ago I made a long post regarding my experiments with burlap and a variety of
cement and non-cement materials. Here are some photos of the house I'm building with
burlap. Put away the hammer, and pick up the clothes-pin.
Here's a photo of the house before burlap: a ferrocement ring at the base, encasing steel
studs, covered in stock panels. http://www.annesleyphoto.com/Building/ferroring7511.jpg
Here's the structure from another angle, partly covered in burlap-crete.

Here is a close-up of the coated burlap, held onto the stock panels with clothespins. The
seams blend together so well you can't really tell that you're looking at probably ten or more
seams. Makes a wall about as strong as 1/2" plywood over studs covered in stucco-- and its
only an overlapping layer of burlap soaked in modified fast set, high strength grout.
