[papercreters] curing problem

We just looked at a steel frame papercrete home that is for sale. Unlike other papercrete homes that I am familiar with, this one is aprox three stories tall. It's gorgeous (absolutely gorgeous) inside but there are huge cracks on the outside starting at the roofline and continuing to the base. The realtor said its a curing problem.

My immediate thought is that this is going to result in a toxic home due to mold issues, but I am new to this so could be overreacting.

Can anyone out there tell me if this is a fixable problem or a lifetime of headaches? The price for the house is unbelievably low, which is the only reason we could entertain buying it. But if it is not fixable, well, obviously, the cost is too dear.

Thanks so much for your help!

Debra
