Low cost building in person!
Here's some friends of mine on just about a zero budget, attempting to build a shop and home with a rammed earth method. This guy is pretty darn keene on ideas to save money and the videos will keep trickling in as they go along, and I'll keep putting them up for you guys to see.......

I'm sorry! It's a mixture of dirt and portland cement with a tinge of water and then compacted within the form. I'll put up the other video explaining the process a bit better............
