[papercreters] Re: Mixer fixer was/Controversy

I think that is the way to go, most people who ask permission to do
something often get discouraged when what they want to do comes with all
kinds of strings attached. Those who just do it before asking often get
by with it because nobody knows that they did it. (make sense?) I say
go for it, get it done as fast as possible and if nobody knows or finds
out your home free, and nobody will be the wiser.

This may start a whole new thread of opinions but I'll tell you the
truth. I've played by the rules my whole life and now I'm going to join
the crowd who looks out for itself.

and they will let you have that night's supply. Getting there but SLOW.

The woman in charge said NO. It would be too much responsibility for
them! So I've been getting bales of cardboard from behind Walgreen's.
That's OK. You get a large amount and it's all baled for you so it's
easy to handle, although heavy.

papercrete as infill. I have the possibliity of buiding a house for
someone this summer. It would have to be permitted. What I've been
thinking of doing for expediency's sake is to make up a mix with the
cellulose insulation. My reasoning is that it is already accepted and
has a fire rating. If that is used along with a small amount of

acceptance. Since someone else will be paying for materials I could just
figure it into the cost. I have spoken with the owner of an inulation
company who will give me a considerable discount if I buy a large
quantity. So I plan to do some sample batches to see how it goes.

not an attention to detail person so do not keep good records of how I
do things. I know I need to improve in this area. I am interested to
know what would be involved in getting it approved. Are we talking here
about load bearing papercrete? I know there are at least 2 houses in NM
built with papercrete as infill, the frame being welded steel. Code
officials were very positive which is an encouragement. I am working up
the initiative to start talking to them in anticipation of the summer
projects.
