Re: [papercreters] Wake up!

Hi Judith, no I don't have a source for the beads... Sorry!!!

The man up here rigged up a wood chipper to chop up the foam which turned back into the small beads. He built a box around the chipper, had a huge plastic bag (in the box)  to catch the beads ( don't know where he found the bags either)  he still had a mess.  He used all scrap foam that was given to him or he just found in dumpsters. He mixed it with sand cement and PC.. 

.

I know what you mean about the last bit being the hardest on the walls, we got the North East corner filled in before it turned off bad, it was a challenge to get it in the tight spots.

 

You probabley needed that rest with all you had gotten done, the cold you had was natures way of saying to slow down a little : ) 

Wish I could be more help.

Doris, have you found a source for the styrofoam beads? I had been thinking of using them too. I know what you mean about the rain and snow. Same here except I don't think we got as much snow. I have had a sever cold for a week now so welcomed the weather as an excuse to stay close to the wood stove. My walls are just about up all the way. The last few inches are the hardest. The plan is to have them done by the end of the weekend.

Keep up the good work and thanks for all the input to the group.

Sincerely, Judith

Great sight Bob, We were going to put the styro-beads in the papercrete for the bedroom but couldn't find a good way to keep them contained and didn't want them all over our property. A friend of ours here in Mountainair built full walls like this and then stood them up right for his round house.

I will defiantly keep this recipe for other sculptures we want to do around the house.

We have been grounded from working on our bedroom for over a week due to snow and rain, so at this point I am having doubt about getting to the top by December : (

Here is a guy doing something in his retirement years we all could learn to do with our papercrete, he doesn't use papercrete but uses styro beads and fiber. Check out his home page and then look at his 1 thru 6 instructional video's and also a 3 part on how to add excitement to his pond.
