Sounds like a good idea. Atlanta has been hot and dry this Summer

I appreciate the input!
I think to be on the safe side I'll design/build an air space
between the papercrete and Latex Concrete roof, with a vapor barrier on the warm
side of the papercrete. The hobbit house shed is not heated or cooled in any way so
I didn't worry about the dew point being reached inside the papercrete. My next project
will be a papercrete roof on my home addition and I want to make sure I "do the right thing"
as far as the roof goes. I live in the Southern USA. HOT summers, mild winters, rain = 52" per
year.
Is anyone living UNDER a papercrete roof right now? How was it constructed? Vapor
barrier? How thick is the papercrete roof? What mix (paper/cement only; no sand) was used?
thanks again,
thanks again,
