Started a slip form wall a few weeks ago. Feel like I will never go back to the block method again. So much faster and the wall comes out smooth and very hard....
That glorified beach ball is fine for a concentrating mirror to up the power out of a small PV panel, but where does the heat go inside that air filled bubble?...
Go Slinkster!!!!!! Great to see you back slinging slurry. Wooo! Hoo! Slipforming can go faster and easier at first... but the higher the wall gets, the harder...
I keep thinking that tires with small drain holes would make a good, permanent form for a cement rich papercrete slurry. Has anybody tried this? Or does...

I haven't tried the cardboard. Someone was just talking to me about this the other day but I can't remember who it was. Anyway, they were saying how cardboard...
