[papercreters] Re: Thanks Nolan... Blowing Papercrete like stucco??? Stucco sprayer, finsh papercrete mix.

Hello Calle,
The independednt builder book looks neat. Thank you for the heads up.

A couple notes. I have the list coming to me in digest format and may miss a question.  If I can ever do anything to help, please don't hesitate to email nolan@mortarsprayer.com. Our phone number is also also posted on our stucco  sprayer website. 
First off, Our sprayers are great tools and real time savers *BUT* I wouldn't want anyone hold off of building and experimenting because they don't have a sprayer.

This is exciting. The chance to build a low cost structure with your son can be a lifetime treasure.

Bob's approach of spraying a thin layers has allowed him to build in wet weather.
There may be other solutions that can work to match your situation.

Yes you can tint the mix and not paint. The outside of our home is tan from pigment. On the inside we did white lime plaster. (Bob's papercrete plaster would be a great choice)  Search natural pigments.

Surface bonded block can be  another very economical and easy way to build. Please seach that in your studies. The key I have found is to combine the best ideas from various systems to fit the resources and site. Like Papercrete and cobb and surface bonded block.

While you are working on a plan, you could start casting PC blocks from the waste paper in your home. By the time you are ready to build, you would have a nice supply.

Here is an amazing home  built from found materials.  If you and your son built something like this out of sight, the tax man probably wouldn't notice. If you keep it tiny like this, he probably wouldn't care when it is spotted.
And what an incredible gift for a young man!

Happy New Year!
Nolan
