Papercrete-anyone ever tried it?

[Kathy]

A guy in my town is making papercrete blocks with the intention of building his children a playhouse.

He gave me a block and I was surprised at how lightweight it was for it's size. That would be a plus if you were building with little or no help.

Here's a link to some info I pulled up today.

I never heard of it before. It sure sounds like an interesting alternative.
