In a wealthy society such as we have in the US, the amount of usable building material that gets thrown away is almost criminal. Using gleaning methods, one can build a safe, sanitary, and healthy house at a fraction of the cost of a 'conventional build'. This blog shows you one such journey.

Meeting With The Builder
Well, it turns out that my sister and her husband, in light of the recent economic turmoil, have decided to build without bank financing.
This is good news for me. This means I can build without having to worry about how my dirtcheapbuild will impact their bank loan and inspection.
We are gathering for a meeting with their builder this week; this is a company I have found for them, the owners of which are interested in building an insulated concrete slip form house. That is what my sister's family wants.
I will be, of course, gleaning off them!
In other news, I secured a job only 30 minutes from the house site, so I will be moving forthwith to begin my build this fall and winter.
The latest plan I'm pursuing is the use the slip form stone building methods outlined here.
Can't wait!
We also plan to plant fruit trees this fall for the future years.
Anyone have any suggestions?
