Dear Kat,

Thanks for sharing. Do you have examples of other mixers, smaller perhaps?

I'm in the Blue Ridge region of Appalachia. Is this a viable project in wetter climates?

Best regards,

I know papercrete doesn't burn, it'll smolder, but not burn. I'm not sure about adobe, I would imagine it wouldn't burn either.

How flammable and/or water resistant are these bricks - and how strong?

@diamondlady108 is it okay to use a rod and a bucket to mix the paper mixture in place of a mixer because I don't know if the mixer is more of a mixer or a blender though since a rod and a bucket can't blend the paper-lime mix and I don't know if there's a spare extra large mixer lying around.

Are you in New Mexico? Pretty country. I am in Bend,Oregon. Some thing like this would work here. With the lime why not just have some big rubber gloves to use?
