RE: [papercreters] portland cement

I set up a ramp and rolled the drums off the back of the pickup. I had a friend there and we were able to set the drums up pretty easily. Perhaps the 45% fly ash made the mixture lighter? It works very well in papercrete.

If it is easy for you to move 1 ton of cement in drums that is a good deal. It would cost me $224 before tax for that much cement. I pay $11.19 per bag of Portland.

Thanks for any replys.

RE: [papercreters] portland cement

I got portland mixed with fly ash last year at about this time. I paid $25 for each 55 gal drum.

Hey Larry,

I've considered using papercrete to do insulation under my mfg home too. If you do it, I'd be interested in hearing how it turns out.

Thanks,
Greg

[papercreters] Mixer

Fantastic site for someone just getting started with papercreate.

For a starter I intend to just use a 55 Gallon drum to mix in.

My starting project will be to build papercreate panels to add
insulation to my mobile home. It is an older model and most of the
underneath insulation is missing at this time, and my heating costs
for the winters are killing me.

I procured 2 Cushman rear axles ($20 for both). Would they be strong
enough for use in a 55 Gallon drum mixer? What RPM should the inside
blade turn at?

I am partially handicapped and don't drive any longer therefore I
don't have a truck for mixing, would a 10 HP gas motor be adequate to
propel it when the drum is filled with slurry?

Could also use some ideas of how to connect the 10 hp motor to the
wheel for mixing. The Cushman only has an 8" wheel, I am thinking of
taking it up to a 13" wheel.

Where is the "Papercreate for dummies" book at?

Thanks for any assistance.

[papercreters] Monolithic Pavilion?

Jason here in Mexico. I had an idea come to me and wanted to pass it
by you all. Okay, let me try and explain it. This is being done all
over but I am trying to use a little Mexican ingenuity, to reduce
cost. I build a 51ft. cement column in a perfect circle about 3
meters off the ground with pillars holding it up. I go to my tarp
friend who builds blow up playsets that the kids slide and jump on.
He builds me a blow up dome (airform) 50ft. x 15ft. with the cheapest
tarp pieces available that will sit on half of the circular column 3
meters off the ground. The blow up tunnel will be on the
bottom/center of the tarp dome and go to the ground 3 meters. The
bottom of the airform will be supported by 2x4's and whatever we can
find to hold it up. Put a rebar web around the airform almost like
ferrocement that connects to the column. I will buy a sprayer and we
spray that baby with pumicecrete about 3-4 inches thick. There you
have it. Then we cut the airform up to make different shapes and
build thin walled dormitories around the conference dome. Paint it
with adobe colored textures and make them look nice.

This link has some good pictures:

???? Beside the pump and blower, I am wondering if the material would
be super expensive? Does anybody know if there is a cheap pump that
could handle this?

Jason
