Hi Mr Merril,
I'm a new member of this group and still studing all I can know
about Papercrete before I can begin something. I´ve read a lot of
topics. I have a question about your formula of mortar. What do you
mean by "Fibre"? What kind of fibre you're talking about? Sorry if
it´s a stupid question, but I didn´t understand. Thank´s a lot,
Marcio Cavalcanti.
PS: I'm from Brazil and I´ve never heard about Papercrete before.
Here, our constructions are based on clay bricks, mortar and
concrete. We rarely see, like in US, constructions built from wood.
I'm gonna give papercrete a try. I'm amazed with the paper
power.hehehe
