Double check your connections. I had a problem and took me awhile to check the obvious. My connections was a little off and it did not work.

RE: Drexel Foam Density
I will be following this post closely. I have purchased the Drexel but not tested it yet. I will post when life let's me get it done. Hoping several others will post experiences as well.

RE: Suspending Triangular Aircrete Panels from Geodesic Dome.
I have been considering this idea ever since I learned of Aircrete. I purchased Geodesic Dome plans from Paul Robinson several years ago and was thinking. Because the Geo dome is very strong, and Aircrete is very light why not stretch chicken wire/cloth on the inside of the panels. Fill them with aircrete. Finish the outside/inside with cloth stucco as normal Domegaia domes.
You would need to leave channels for your screws but that should be easy with well placed straws or just drill out the channels before you set all the screws. This would be a very strong very insulated building. I decide that an Aircrete dome would be cheaper because I don't need all the limber and screws but still a very cool construction idea.
If anyone uses my idea thats great just document and post. WE all are learning.

RE: Slab Floor Recipe
Thanks for the input. I have thought of the cement layer on top as well. Sorry to hear of all your troubles with the formula given but you have discovered and shared an alternative for us all. I will take all in advisement.

RE: Aircrete finishing -
Pictures? I don't really know but try cut past or drag and drop. I can't find a tutorial or help tab to find out. I know someone in here knows how.

RE: Aircrete finishing -
I would love to see the results of your fabric test. I was thinking the same thing about shade or ground cloth. Seems it would work cost is my concern. If a cheaper fabric is found that does the job we are all better off.

RE: Need help in USA, Georgia.
I am hoping to get started this spring/summer. Logistics is still an issue due to no infrastructure. I will build a simple rain water collection system like I live on at home. Then I just need to get my generator in top shape. Then I can start making blocks.
If anyone is close enough to volunteer with primitive camping and such let me know. I am working with very limited resources and could only provide camping and experience.
Also a couple of people have stated that they were starting a project in Georgia. Any updates on that?
