[papercreters] Re: It's such a small world

If you notice most of everything Dan does is "Stick Framing" then he can
use what ever infill he wants as long as it passes his local and State
codes for all the other trades. Also the home owner to be probably gets
the permit to build their own home. Dan is hired to be a consultant that
is why the cost of those small houses is between $20,000.00 and
$50,000.00. It's hard for me as an excontractor to concieve that much
money for such a small house with all that free infill in them. Everyone
of you could do the same thing with papercrete or Padobe.
