I think what he is doing is one of the biggest blessings to a human that can be done. To own your own home, is a blessing in itself, but to build them this way is awesome. I can't believe how wonderful them houses are. I had a home and worked many house to try and pay for it, then my factory moved out of our country and I lost my job. Which is happening to many here in MI. I worked so hard to make my house a home. It was a condemned home and I made it worth $169,900, but when I lost it, they sold it for $40,000. My loan was $125,000. I did all the work with my kids, we did all of it except the electric. We had so much fun. But the idea's that this man has to make a house a home with recycled products is the best idea I have ever heard of. These people have what looks like the most wonderful homes I have ever seen. I wish I would have seen this 10 years ago when I was trying to rebuild mine. I am going to live in a motor home with my son now, moving it everyday to a differant place. So these people that retain those homes are very lucky and should thank God that they met Mr. Phillips and were blessed with such an amazing opportunity! I wish I could have seen all his work. Thanks for sharing your homes, and maybe this could open many eyes to people. Thanks, Melanie Wilson This article touched me.
