I'm building an earthbag house in the Chihuahuan desert from materials found on a 1 acre lot using hand tools.  I hope to help others build their own inexpensive, efficient home as well.  I am keeping detailed records of expenses, time spent and taking daily photos of my progress.

I'm not the sort of person you might normally think of when you think of someone building a house by hand.  I'm...well I'm really ordinary.  Just on the shady side of 40 and as you can tell from the picture I'm basically shaped like middle aged couch potato.  So if I can do this anyone can.
