I have a problem with skirting. My house is on uneven ground on block piers. The skirting is subject to high winds, snow pushing on it, etc ., and it seems to get trashed every year.
I've been experimenting with papercrete, and was wondering what you all thought of placing strawbales around the home, chicken wiring, and plastering with papercrete (obviously leaving some spaces open for access and venting). I'm thinking it would insulate quite well, and as an added bonus, create an interesting bench-type structure (or banco around here) around the house.
I also thought about carrying the chicken wire straight up the sides of the house as well, and plastering the whole thing. I think i'd have to vapor barrier the outside first if plastering is possible, but it seems it would insulate the whole house pretty well.
Any thoughts on this?
thanks for this forum, i've learned so much here, and as a first time mobilehome owner, it's been invaluable.
