He is definitely a  guy who thinks outside the box and a pioneer for building.

lol...i read his book like prob 10-15 years ago.   I loved his idea's .... besides the whole stick a pole in a plastic bag ...ehhh..not such a good idea in my opinoin .  Just pin it on a footer surrounded by rounds and drain it down!  I like his price points the most!! 😀  The 50 dollar one is the most beutiful I think. 

It was interesting jjust recently seeing video's of the place.  I wish he would have done more about stabilizing the banks he exposed ...he kind of just left them to degrade.  It would neat of some fan of his work..went in there and just finished working on them.  (he just died).  I mean..most of its still good ..just needs a little love.

Also using plastic is more risky but cheaper then rubber...he was just  making due on a budget i can respect that..and really rubber wasn't main stream then. 

Its cool you like it Gravel..I thought it would be a bit to outside the box for ya 😉  Have you seen Glenn Kasiers place gravel?
