[papercreters] Thanks Charmaine great sprayer for PC- & newer solar books

Thanks Charmaine,       Will check out the sprayers in a week or so.  I went to the picture section of this site, but most just put no words or so few for the novice it is hard to write the story to the pictures.   When  you mention the popcorn effect, is there another attachment that allows for spaying it more smoothly for enterior walls?  Hard to hang shelves and pictures on popcorn!  Also have other done celings with the pc mixture?     We had thought of doing a terra tile floor as first introduced to us by David Easton, then more recently by Owen Grieger (wrong spelling I think) the engineer that designs earthbag and other alternative house plans.  Perhaps pc floors would transfer heated water better, and be easier to clean and maintain with kids, boots and country dirt?   The book you mentioned is the one our library had, but not the last addition.  Will see if I can find it, or look on line at view the table of contents.   His whole premise has been the solar pad that a house is set on.  We do not want the cost of cement as it will put the cost of the house over the top, the county will charge us outlandish taxes.   Maybe he has changed his methods.  Thanks so much.   So why aren't you going to write books?  Maybe after a long rest!   Thanks Charmaine,   Calle   PS, so you sell all of the cheap builder books, just caught your email address name.  Will try to find the time to go to your site. Although this is a bad time of year for us to buy.  Homeowners ins due, car lic due, house taxes and land taxes coming up soon.  You know the story!         --- On Wed, 12/30/09, Charmaine Taylor <dirtcheapbuilderbooks@gmail.com> wrote: From: Charmaine Taylor <dirtcheapbuilderbooks@gmail.com> Subject: [papercreters] great sprayer for PC- & newer solar books To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, December 30, 2009, 10:58 PM   1.
