I met Dan Phillips back in 2009 when I was volunteering to help him build one of his recycled houses for a single Dad. It was the coolest thing, because not only were we helping to build this guy a new home, but we were also learning how Dan builds all of his houses out of recycled materials. Pretty much everything is recycled or repurposed, except for the wiring etc. Just because it makes things safer, and complies with the building code. We also went to help with the Bone House, and build an extension to this little covered area in their backyard. The covering was made out of recycled wood and an old Chevron sign! I was so tired when I got back home that day, but I also felt so inspired. The fact that Dan takes the time to build houses for low income families, single parents and artists is amazing. The are cost efficient and Dan does it because he wants to help people, not because he wants to make money. It's a beautiful thing.
