I should not chime in as I've not yet started working on papercrete but have followed this list religiously for quite sometime now in preparation. I think that working with cardboard and perfecting the process is a really good thing to do esp since I see so many newspaper business going belly up and the ones that are left the newspapers are smaller in size and pages. There is certainly enough newspaper for now but it might come in time that newspaper will be harder to gather so freely. Lucky for us there are not so many ways to recycle newspapers as good as papercreters do :) such as plastic bottles and glass.

You got it Terry, LaPaz county. Hot and dry most of the time and some nasty "monsoon" storms in July and August. Ideal climate for PC as we can use all the insulation in a building we can get. It's great weather for drying blocks as well. I'm hoping to get some building done with the blocks this summer. Everything I build here has to be able to withstand the wind as I get a lot of that and some are up around hurricane force so it will be interesting but I'm confident that done properly it will work. I am pleased with the way the cardboard is workig out for pulp. I was a little concerned initially as no one seemed to use it and I would have a lot of egg on my face if this huge stack I've accumulated over the last 2 years wouldn't be good for anything but a big bonfire.
