It may seem a bit late in life for some to start building their own 950squarefoot home at age 61 but not to Laura. She, along with a cowboy friend, began building, by hand (no power tools), her house in the Sonoran desert from free and locally available materials. She built it from scratch and had no electricity to run tools. She started collecting the stones that would be the walls of her home. She bought hundreds of bags of cement and had a tanker truck nearby for water to mix it. She bought scrap lumber from an old motel. How much did it cost in the end?
