I have watched Dan Phillips at work for nearly forty years, and I
must say that he constantly surprises me with his ability to create
something magnificent out of "trash" others have consigned to the
city dump or left at the curb to be hauled off. License plates,
shattered tiles, bottle caps, wine corks, gnarled bois d'ark limbs,
sawed-off ends of timber--in the hands of this master craftsman all
become the finest of building materials. He is a magician in the
world of home construction. In this book you will learn all about
Dan and be introduced to some of his remarkable projects."--Paul
Ruffin, Director, Texas Review Press
“Dan Phillips combines the passion of an artist with the wisdom of
a philosopher to create inimitable living spaces that are as full
of life and personality as the people who inhabit them. Harnessing
the power of apprentice labor provided by an army of willing
novices, Dan fashions structures from salvaged materials that
become affordable yet aesthetically unique homes for artists,
single parents, and families with low incomes. This book will open
your eyes to the uplifting spirit of Dan Phillips, who chooses to
see the possibilities rather than the limitations in both the
buildings and the builders as he quietly goes about the business of
improving the planet, one project at a time.”–Don R. Bates,
for the editors
