RE: [papercreters] Re: The Upcoming Gathering



I have only made papercrete with cement in the past but am ready to switch to paper adobe. Can you share your formula?

Greetings,
We are just laying the foundation for the restrooms. We tend to do
things in the winter, since the summer months we are selling at the
farmer's market, which is an insane lifestyle. We love it, but I am not
sure why.

I am hoping to have examples of many different alternative building
styles on the property, but our primary building material is fidobe. It
would be fun to have a workshop here, I have only been involved in the
papercrete world since around 1996 or 97 I think. Does any remember the
magazine: Papercrete and the front page of the first issue that said you
could build a house for 75 cents a square foot?

I am busy putting together gardening course right now, but papercrete
and paper adobe classes are in the works.

Bright Blessings,
Kim
