Need advice on a substitute exercise / equipment issue

I workout at home and don't have a pullup bar or a bar on which to do inverted rows. Any ideas for substitutions? I don't really have the money to invest in any more equipment (and I realize that a pullup bar is not a huge expense, but I am pretty broke at the moment).

    A world-champion body builder once told me that push-ups of various varieties will work almost everything.

    Do u have exercise bands? I know in P90X they use that if someone does not have a pullup bar.
    Or if you go outside to a playground you can use monkey bars. Some parks may also have a little exercise section with the pull up bars.
    Hope it works out, I wish I had a treadmill myself, its way too hot down here to exercise at this time.
    Good luck.
