PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL


Installing plumbing lines requires cutting holes and channels in papercrete. It was very easy in fibrous concrete bricks when compare to padobe bricks. Electrical runs were cut with a circular saw or chain saw. To make holes for outlets, horizontals and vertical slits was cut with a circular saw. Then unwanted pieces were removed with a screwdriver.
Outlet boxes can be angle screwed directly into the papercrete. Home fires start, where the wiring enters the outlet boxes. So, nonflammable mortar should be put behind the outlet boxes for safety. Once the electrical wiring and outlets are installed and then tested, the channels for the electrical runs are for filled with papercrete
