Beautiful

Shake it up!


A beautiful way to side a house that both protects it and actually adds to the artistic beauty. Love it!

Here and There, Up and Coming...

Hey all you curmudgeons out there who have been waiting a long time for my next post...

We have been in the process of moving from Arizona to northern California. Wow! The architecture is sure different here. There are lots of interesting structures to take pictures of and share with you.

We are living by the coast now so once we are settled, we will be building a hand-built adobe structure using the SLPP™ system. This will give you all an example of just how well it stands up to this very wet and windy climate.

AND, look for my book, The Cheap-Ass Curmudgeon's Guide to DIRT™ coming soon IN PRINT! We will be offering the book at the introductory price of $24.95 — in full color with lots of photos of VERY unique architecture and creative ways of building. We are very excited to finally be able to offer the book in print and will let you know as soon as we get enough interest from YOU to begin printing.

Please let us know if you would like to pre-order your book at the introductory price of $24.95 today (regular price — $29.95.) Get on the list for first edition signed copies, by sending an email to: cheapasscurmudgeon@gmail.com. As soon as we get enough interest, we will begin printing!

I look forward to hearing from you!
