Starting over and trying to do it right this time, author Richard Manning, newly remarried, decides to build an environmentally sensitve house with his own labor. Located on 38 acres in western Montana, this house will be energy efficient with passive solar for heat and a composting toilet and minimal water use. Follow along as Manning strives to make his dream home a reality, with a little help from friends, professionals and casual laborers and other interesting characters. Not only is this book informative and inspiring, it is also simply a good read.
