For some reason my computer wont let me see the pictures :( Tomorrow I will try it on another computer and hopefully see your set up. I've been reading up on this forum and WOW what a great forum this is with tonz of info!!! You people rock!!! Ive also found out that my sand here is round and is why my car sinks when we get a good rain. Sooo now Im thinking I should add cement to my soil in the earthbags or even do without the bags and do rammed earth. I have been chatting with someone who has plans to build a home with rammed earth and I am now considering doing the bottom of the walls with rammed earth as well as rectangular columns for strong support of the roof and the corners. I dont know that I really want to tamp earth in around verticle rebar though and there is some speculation that rebar might not be appropriate for rammedearth even in an earthquake zone like mine..... I do think the papercrete should have metal tied into it for structure and strength in the framing or even just pvc pipe filled with sand??? Also I inventoried my present stash of paper and I have about 16 cubic feet, spaceman said I needed about 3100 cubic feet of slurry so how much slurry would 16 cubic feet of paper make?
