[Cob] Re: Papercreate (Washington, DC)

[Raduazo at aol.com]

Has anyone ever shown that paper-crete is superior to paper-cob?  As I  
understand it paper- crete is not waterproof and must be treated otherwise it  will 
deteriorate just like cob. 
    On Thursday May 5 we will be putting paper-cob on  top of bamboo wattle 
to form an experimental wattle and daub roof that will be  treated with boiled 
linseed oil. I have made several cob roofed birdhouses and  the cob seems to 
stand up pretty well to the weather.
    Anyone interested in helping out with this  experiment should give me a 
call for directions. to St. John's preschool. Also,  I will be harvesting 
Bamboo for the roof on Wednesday May 4 at the American  Horticultural Society. 
Anyone interested in helping in exchange for obtaining  bamboo give me a call. _Ed
