License plates, shattered tiles,  bottle caps, wine corks, gnarled bois d'ark limbs, sawed-off ends of  timber--in the hands of this master craftsman all become the finest of  building materials. He is a magician in the world of home construction.

Harnessing the power of  apprentice labor provided by an army of willing novices, Dan fashions  structures from salvaged materials that become affordable yet  aesthetically unique homes for artists, single parents, and families  with low incomes. This book will open your eyes to the uplifting spirit  of Dan Phillips, who chooses to see the possibilities rather than the  limitations in both the buildings and the builders as he quietly goes  about the business of improving the planet, one project at a time.”–Don  R.

This process uses only apprentice labor and teaches marketable skills to anyone with a work ethic who is willing to swing a hammer. By keeping labor costs low and using donated or found materials, the homes created are truly affordable.
