I was reminded about papercrete at another IC website yesterday and decided to do a little more research.

I finally started on the first wall for my little 5 x 24 addition that’s the test for my greenhouse addition. Unfortunately, I’m only 10 ft [...]

I saw the Anderson TruScene screens at the Home Depot today and they sure are cool. They told me you can’t fix them yourself, need to order new screens from Anderson. I’d like to get this screen for the courtyard.
