Aircrete Builds a Dream
 |
| Future dome home location |
Aircrete Builds Blog will
chronicle a home building for Patricia C. Coleman, the writer of this blog. This build is the dream of a
mold free home and belief that a recovering immune system is an outcome looming
within the horizon. I hope to build
something that is as beautiful as it is useful, and to live long within it.
I have weird allergies.
Because of these allergies, I’ve
been looking at alternative building mediums for many years. Previously I have followed papercrete. It was seeking an update to that medium that led me to building with aircrete!
It is necessary for me to
live in a home that doesn’t push my allergy buttons. My building medium is a form of concrete that
meets those conditions and further, it has a great R value, is impervious to
insects, resistant to moisture, very strong and can be used to build so that your house can look like what you think your house needs to look like. Cost is significantly
less, it is light weight, sustainable, affordable and home builders can easily
assist in the development of their own home projects.

structure and it is amazing that nature builds with this form." Hajjar Gibran

I am very pleased that Chris
Martin agreed to be my builder on this concrete home build even after I told
him that many of those working with him will be volunteers.
