>From the Georgia wilderness:
Carpet and concrete are both resources to us
scroungers out here; but not for the orthodox
purposes- our latest building plans include overlapped
layers of trash carpet scraps, laid on a frame of
scraps and saplings, and plastered with a cement
stucco to make the roof and walls of a shed or house.
Hopefully the cement will trap the formaldehyde fumes!
We're doing this to help use some of the absurd amount
of carpet thrown out, and it seems a quick technique
for us in our pioneer stage. There's lots of
information around on natural buildings- for starters
