(papercrete mixes, mixer, newest additives, block molds, reference to
tip-up walls with window, door bucks. I have always been suspicious of
papercrete's ability to absorb water. Even with the newer additives I
would make some standard blocks, weigh them dry, immerse them in water
for a week or so and reweigh them---crush them to destruction in both
states to get an idea of their strength and durability under rainy
conditions---and of course use a wide roof overhang like adobe, possibly
coat the exterior surface with something like Jack Bays (deceased)
Rub-R-Slate described in the Kern books and some sold by Charmaine
Taylor---or a silicone to shed water)
Have to give a lot of attention to tying down papercrete walls and
fastening roof structures to them---they don't weigh much and don't have
much tensile strength, so a bond-beam is essential, together with tying
it to reinforced concrete footing and stemwall with rebar.)

(some wonderful books on Vernacular Architecture, from the old Lloyd
Kahn "Shelter" to his newer one "Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter", 2004,
and all the other books to which reference is made on this website. If
you had the two Kern books on the nuts and bolts of building, the
Christopher Alexander books which tell you how you should handle inside
and outside spaces to make a home "feel right" to occupants, and the
books on this website, you would be halfway to becoming a good builder,
i.e., able to build a more livable house by escaping the depressing
closed-angle, limited-view Indiana Box beloved of bankers and divorce
court lawyers.
