DV Rogers: Nice idea for hardening exterior.
Bought a big compressor six years ago thinking I might do that -- or spray papercrete onto a form, instead of using polyiso. But found thick, used polyiso this last winter. Once I acquired the polyiso and was in the winter-dreaming stage, had planned to attach burlap to the exterior and cement fill/coat that, troweling it on, rather than spraying. Realized early summer that once the monsoon season started to break up a bit here, I wouldn't have enough dry, outdoor working days available to do that this year before winter sets in. So am opting instead for "poor man's fiberglass" on the exterior. That will protect it through its first winter (and beyond). Suppose that when that starts to fail (assuming that the building has withstood northern New Mexico snows and spring windstorms and has survived not having a proper foundation), I could ferrocement, or stucco it then. Poor Man's Fiberglass exterior walls should hold for at least seven years before needing attention. The roof? Probably not. Is going to need some true roof coating promptly. And I've already invested in and acquired almost 20 gallons of "oops" paints and coatings for doing "poor man's fiberglass." Don't have the money to switch to a different coating now, this fall. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Aug 27, 2017 at 9:04 AM, <hexayurt@googlegroups.com> wrote: > hexayurt@googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email#!forum/hexayurt/topics> > Google > Groups > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email/#!overview> > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email/#!overview> > Topic digest > View all topics > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email#!forum/hexayurt/topics> > > - Story of my Liquid Nails fail, with photos > <#m_3566034993649397306_group_thread_0> - 3 Updates > > Story of my Liquid Nails fail, with photos > <http://groups.google.com/group/hexayurt/t/78959dae5909313a?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email> > ken winston caine <ken.winston.ca...@gmail.com>: Aug 26 09:18AM -0700 > > Hunter: > > The "Fail" shown in the photos was with an unevenly broken polyiso board > with quite ragged faces along the break.
