Built from Trash!

The more people learn about our house building project, the more we are asked to share what we have learned: our papercrete recipe, how we made our papercrete mixer, how to build a slip form for making a poured papercrete wall or blocks, how to build a tire wall, how to build a bottle wall, how to cut, fill and stack tires, and — most important — how to find and build with free or inexpensive construction materials.

Thus, in addition to sharing some of that information on this website, beginning in April 2011, we are offering workshops for those who want hands-on experience on how to build a structure from recycled and found materials.

Workshops will be available for builders and wannabe builders with or without tools or experience.

Because we are planning to build several new structures on our land, we will schedule the workshops to coincide with our building schedule so that folks who want to participate in building an actual papercrete pyramid, bottle house, or recycled pop bottle greenhouse, can sign up to do so.

And, regardless of our building schedule, we will always offer 1 or 2 day workshops on making papercrete, designing and building a papercrete mixer, how to make slip forms, cutting, stacking filling, and tamping tires, how to stucco with papercrete, how to use papercrete as insulation, etc.

The building projects weCarrie & Elisia or our neighborsDarren & Kylie Frazier currently have in the works are:

• Building a Papercrete Pyramid/guest house and meditation room on tire foundation;

• Making a green house out of 2 liter pop bottles;

• Building a cob and glass bottle guest house on tire foundation;

• Building a cord wood shed;

• Building a 3 bedroom hybrid cord wood/strawbale house on a tire foundation

Workshops are:

• Three (3) days

• One (1) week (7 days)

• Two (2) weeks (14 days)

Workshops will begin in April 2011 and will run through September 2011.  If all goes well, we will continue the workshops the following year.
