The Mud House: Four friends, One block of land, No power tools
This frank, funny and thought-provoking memoir describes how Richard and his friend Philip built a mud-brick house in the bush on weekends. This huge and exhausting undertaking — it took eight years simply to make the bricks — examines what it means to be a man, the nature of male friendships, improvised housebuilding techniques, and the extraordinary accomplishment of making something with your own hands.
