  • so how many bags total of cement did you use for one 4x8 slab and how much weight of paper?

  • @rancheroman1961 We used about 45 lbs portland cement and 50 lbs of paper for each slab. The slab weighed around 120 lbs when we were moving them as they still had some water content.

  • do u use any reo in the slabs ?

  • reo?

  • hi, nice video. Friends and Subscribers welcome if you want to have a look at my Home Wind/Solar Energy stuff.  I won a Green Design Contest with my system on Earth Day. Have a look if you like.

  • I live in El Paso. Any chance I could visit?

  • the graffiti artists must LOVE that fence

  • Pardon my ignorance, but what function does the paper serve in the papercrete?

  • They use stick's

  • any way im giving it a go with some waist bundles from work i'll start off with bricks then 30mm

    slabs for hebel walls . thanks for the kick start guide.

    .

  • reinforcement ! u could use junk found at the tip like old cyclone fences .

  • reinforcement . like say chicken wire or metal grid reo as they do in traditional concrete slabs . it would be much stronger .
