February 21, 2008: DIY House
How I built my house for £4,000.
| When he's expecting visitors, Steve James watches out the windows so he can catch the look on their faces when they see his house for the first time. "It's always the same," he say. "There's an intense stare and total mystification, as if they can't quite believe what they are seeing." This may be because James's house is made of straw and has a turf roof covered in flowers. |
I challenge James to get a permit to build that in my Township.

Fancy hut! Lovely!

Clearly one mans house is another mans... hut.

Very cool. My township would approve, but COG would make him build in the shadow of a giant sandmound for his crapper.

Couldn't do that where I live, it'd blow away......or get washed away by rain :P

The pictures of the interior are really quite beautiful.
If you had the land and location, a few of these dotted about would make fantastic romantic getaways. It ust looks so cosy.

Straw bale construction is quite durable, amazingly snug and well insulated, and has been around for decades, if not centuries.

After I blew the house of wood, I'll blow away this house of straw--just because i feel like it. [/bigbadwolf]
