Papercrete Questions and Answers
Kelly
Hart, who is your
host at greenhomebuilding.com, has
been involved with papercrete from the early days of its popularization.
He included interviews with papercrete pioneers Mike McCain, Eric Patterson
and Sean Sands in the video he produced: A
Sampler of Alternative Homes: Approaching Sustainable Architecture.
He also chronicled his own use of this amazing material in his video: Building with Bags: How We Made Our Experimental
Earthbag/Papercrete House. Kelly has built and used both an
electric barrel mixer, and a McCain-designed tow mixer. His house is plastered
inside and out with papercrete and can be seen here.
He can speak from his experience with this novel stuff, and is frank about
both its pros and it cons.
