[papercreters] Re: New to the group

Greg,

I probably will either lap the joints about 6" or better use a
lockforming tool to fold and seal them seams. The nice thing about
roll metal is that it comes in very long lengths (100'plus) so any
vertical seams, other than those against door and window openings,
will be eliminated.

I've added an image to the photo folder showing a cutaway of the
structure. This is definitely a hybrid, no real loadbearing papercrete
here, but all the stick framing is derived from relatively inexpensive
materials (2x4 and OSB plywood)

bye,

Blake
