Papercrete

Thought I'd show a little of the papercrete process. First I take lots of newspapers and office paper and shred it (luckily my office has a paper shredder, maybe not common in this digital age)

Then I pour water over all of it and let in soak for a week. If I'm in a hurry I pour boiling water over it, then I  can use the next day.  I mix it with my concrete mixer, or if a smaller batch, the paint stirring attachment on my drill. This is how it looks all mushed up. 

Now ready to drain excess water and add cement and perlite.
