100th "Day" of Working on the World's Tallest House of Paper

Yippeee! 100 Days!
It did take Noble and I ALL Day to get this arch plastered. SO GORGEOUS!
Can't wait to see the next arch plastered!
Above shot the west wall of the living room, entering the kitchen and the front door.

Below, the other side of that same arch. It's a double arch, I only did the lower arch. It ended up taking a LOT of Plaster to try to smooth out this arch.

Maybe tomorrow I'll show you how to make the plaster, step by step.

YIPPPPEEEE

15th Day on the Papercrete Castle in Marathon Texas

Here's the shot after the 15th day this season of working on our joint. Yesterday we worked 19 person hours on the place. It's hard to see the difference between yesterday's picture and today's, but we're building set-in arches up the stairway on the back wall. In yesterday's picture there was just the one in-set arch and today you see the works of three. We'll put in-set lighting in the in-set arches all the way up the steps. You'll have to come see our progress. Or get to work!
Total hours worked so far are 366 people hours.

Noble and I Building a Dwelling

Hi Ya Friends. It's Alaine, trying to blog for the first time ever.
We figured we'd log our progress as Noble Baker and I are building a joint out of papercrete (recycled paper mixed with Portland cement, clay, sand, wata, volcanic rockcitos, and sometimes recycled Styrofoam.) We have been taking a photo of our day-by-day progress and logging the total person-hours it takes to build the place. Last year (2008) we worked for 11 days and worked 165 hours total. Here--I post what we accomplished in our building project after one day's work, last year May 28. Once I figure this out, I can post more shots.
