No, this site isn't gone. Charmaine doesn't own this group. But, she has been active for a very long time in the alternative building groups. Dirt Cheap Builder was her site.

Hello all 'creators...well I tried to 'retire' in 2009..sold the bigger dirtcheapbuilder.com bookstore to a guy in MT..and kept my papercrete site with all the Alt Building guides and CDs, out of print/hard to find booklets on natural building going until right now. So I am keeping the papercrete.com Domaine Name for now..but giving up an active website.
I am working (no where near done) on a Facebook page also 'papercrete.com' ..and people who want to find me will..so In case anyone asks..now you know. https://www.facebook.com/dirtcheaphome/
I hate it when someone disappears..like FERNCO METALS whose shop burned down, so they just quit making Cinva Rams (from plans they got from me) and didn't tell anyone!! I still get questions looking for them. Not sure if they had no business insurance, or didn't save design/machoine tool files to recreate all the work they had done. I know there is still a strong market to buy ready made ones. I tried to buy the fernco name from them just to keep awareness, but the owner didn't respond.. I know the devastating fire and his age were factors.
Anyway... hope all of you never stop playing with 'crete in some form!! Thanks for the memories!
