Re: [papercreters] Kim Travis -- and Murry

Kim -- If you go to the big mall-store chain stores and talk to the managers, some will be willing to save window-display vinyls for you. These are UV-resistant, heavy, and often are 6'x8' or larger.

I have found that the local JC Penney -- which has no display windows -- still receives those huge vinyl rolls from the national marketing department each season and they go straight to the trash. The trick is catching them when they do, or getting the manager to remember to set them aside for you. 

Hope that helps.

[papercreters] Re: Whom is doing which

For vinyl have you tried your local outdoor advertising company? The covers for billboards are often vinyl and can be gotten either free or very inexpensively.

Greetings,
I am in the middle of rebuilding my model, when I get it done, I will post a picture or two.  It is a 30' diameter house with a wrap around porch that extends out windward.  The extension is 20' so it is another reciprocal roof, but I turned it into an oval and am using some of the roof logs from the house to support it, rather than a second henge.  I do believe it will be very comfortable to live in.  But, I am going to need a boom truck to get the logs ups.<grin>

Re: [papercreters] Re: Whom is doing which

Greetings,
Yes the roof will be papercrete, covered by petrified hessian.  I am picking up all the mistints from the local Sherwin Williams, so at a buck a gallon, I can afford to do this.  However, it will be fall probably by the time I am ready to start that part.  The logs must be installed first, and that will be a huge job.  We have decided the walls need to go in before the roof.

Does anyone have a favorite place to get waste vinyl from?  I would prefer not to have to pay shipping from Minnesota.

Hello Kim:)

Your project sounds very exciting. 

I am not familiar with the term "reciprocal roofs." Are you planning on using papercrete for the roof?  If so I would be very interested in your construction details. 

I am trying to evaluate the possibility of a papercrete roof for my house. I have concern about sealing the papercrete. Any insight you have and can provide is most appreciated.

Thanks and best wishes

yes of course but currently i am travelling and dont have the exact data, but the average compressive strengths for my mixes tested on bricks of size 200mm x 100 mm x 80 mm was around 0.753 to 1.12 N/sqmm. I didnt use any other admixtures other than just plain newspapers and OPC cement weighed according to their dry weight. Will send the exact proportions with densities and strengths afterwards.

Would you care to share formulas and results?

i had tested bricks made up of papercrete in my college for their compressive strengths.

Greetings,

We are still working on the model of the house.  I am going to start building this summer, which means we will be into doing the papercrete by August at the latest.  First we need to build the reciprocal roofs.  I finally figured out how to get what I want in the way of a patio without the extra posts in my way, it took some good skull sweat, but like all good solutions, it looks obvious once you find it.<grin>
