Re: [papercreters] Papercrete as insulation and other questions....

Hi Rick, welcome to the group.

My biggest concern with your scheme is drying time. Pouring between two rock walls, with presumably a sealed footer, would not allow the papercrete to drain as it must, and then having most of the surface of the papercrete covered with rock facing would not allow the water to evaporate. It may take several lifetimes to finally dry out and give you the insulation you are looking for.

Does it make any sense at all to build two slipform stone masonry walls with the flat sides facing each other, then pour papercrete in between them as insulation? Is it even conceivable that this could save me time, money, or effort, or am I insane? Any thoughts regarding R-value, recipes, and medications will be considered.  Thanks!  -Rick
