THE DIRT CHEAP BUILDER RESOURCE GUIDE #1001 ...$7.

The original DirtCheapBuilder Guide is BACK! It started in 1998 with a 3-ring binder notebook for $7. that grew past 100 pages, then grew past 4 floppy disks (remember them?) to more than 4,000+ pages of information on CD format for Macs or PCs...all for the SAME $7.00. Sometimes dirt cheap is darn good!

You know how it goes... you find a great site then lose the URL and cannot find the page again! Looking for info on making earth bricks, using special fibers, or that house with the cob tree sculpted into the wall, the living roof design, how to use greywater? This CD has it ALL!

Plus stuff you never heard of! Use this CD as a desktop LIBRARY. You can spend hours just reading and visiting the links and resources given. Now you can get organized. Make a folder on your desktop, copy this CD to your folder, and then add new sites you find and keep a complete database of useful links right where you need them.
