Thanks for your feedback.   My suggestion on the paper crete would not be to 
fill the bags. Just throw in one shovel full.  Lay bag on side.  Spread out 
the mixture.  Pound the bag out flat.  Then roll the bag up.  You may want to 
spread a thin layer of the mixture on top first to act as a mortar of sorts.  
 After the bag is rolled up fasten with wire, zip straps, or rubber bands.  
Let dry or not.   Build wall like stacking cord wood with an earthcrete 
mortar.

Just some more ramblings.......
