Make sure your lot has access to water and electricity as some cheaper lots may not have those already installed. Once you have picked out your lot think about building a cob house or a mud house. A <STRONG>Cob Home</STRONG> is made from mud, straw, sand, and manure. These home are so cheap and easy to make that people have made homes for under $500. <STRONG>Cob Building</STRONG> is done by mixing the ingredients with your hands and feet to make the clay like substance called cob and build up your walls with the help of a bamboo or wood frame. You can hire skilled laborers in Costa Rica for about $20 per day per worker if you don’t want to build it yourself. You could build a very nice cottage for about $10,000.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E4F6F51E-039E-4EBE-917D-1E495B5DA7D5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
