Re: [papercreters] rafters and beams and tying foundation into roof

Sounds interesting. Would it be to support more weight or just to keep things together so to speak? I would think that it would work for the latter but would have concerns if it was to be used to bear extra weight of any significance. I would enjoy hearing about this as it has crossed my mind as well on several projects that are coming up soon. --- On Wed, 11/3/10, Teresa P <ablueprincess@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Teresa P <ablueprincess@yahoo.com> Subject: [papercreters] rafters and beams and tying foundation into roof To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, November 3, 2010, 2:45 PM   Would it be feasible to run barbed wire and/or wire mesh and/or scrap metal all tied together in various fashions with metal up and down a wall and across a roof to the other side of the building and up and down those walls. Frame it out with light weight cheap metal conduit pipe with the wires/mesh/etc running all over the place tied to the conduit pipe. Then pour a monolithic pc with slip form and/or blocks with wires embedded and sticking out of the blocks to tie to other blocks? I hope I explained this right.... the idea is to frame the building cheaply with scraps of metal tied (not necessarily welded) together and have them embedded into the pc
