Greetings all,
I am new to the group (and the world of papercrete), and hoping to glean some knowledge from you wonderful experienced individuals!
I am consider papercrete as a potential building material for my home. I live in Alaska, so the r-value of papercrete is appealing. What I am wondering about is this-- will the short summer season in Alaska make it difficult (or even impossible) to make papercrete bricks? I have read that they do take time and heat to cure. We only get about 3 - 4 months of summery weather here. For what it's worth, it doesn't get very wet where I live, just cold in the fall and winter.
Also, do papercrete bricks store well? For example, if I made a bunch this summer and stored them in a dry place over winter, they would still be useable... right?
Sorry if I'm asking goofy questions. I think papercrete is a very exciting & green way of building and I'm hoping that it can be made to work here. If anyone has wisdom to pass my way, I'll be grateful.
Thanks,
Shana
