I once wrote an article about a man in Ohio who used nothing but recycled materials in his house. He had turned old concrete sidewalks into paving stones for his yard and was even building an outdoor sauna and hot tub from the peices. It looks fabulous. and it was all free. He'd just go by construction sites and ask if he could haul away the concrete chunks. It saved the city thousands in dumping fees and gave him free material. It was awesome. Of course, he put a lot of work into it, hauling and breaking up the slabs into usable pieces...
His roof was also made of recycled pop cans.
Just thought this might inspire you as much as it inspired me!
