margarete Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 This 'self-built' eco-home has been dubbed a Hobbit House. It looks very attractive, doesn't it? http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/news/article-2039719/Simon-Dale-How-I-built-hobbit-house-Wales-just-3-000.html?ito=newsletter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I have often wondered why UK planning officers appear to have a total aversion to some of the superb Scandinavian timber build, triple glazed houses that would save fortunes in building costs.

salsafan Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I think it is a pretty house. It looks amazing, and for such a cheap price as well. It is kind of staggering to see that the sheer human strength to make something like this. He has my total respect. I saw something similar on Grand Design a while back about a carpenter building his own wooden octagon house too. It is just amazing... Margarete, thank you for sharing that. It's made my day !

chem1st Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Wish I could build my own house on the common land, but it was stolen from the people, and the corrupt rentiers get ever richer. They are scum, and eventually they'll lose their heads. We could all build our own houses cheaply! And we'd have money to spend in the economy, we could go back to being a country of innovation, industriousness and production. As it stands the rentiers are sucking the life out of your children. A B2L landlord can become rich, yet a man doing something productive, or working on a production line is condemned to relative poverty. We will crash and burn. There will be blood on the streets, were beginning to run out of time to prevent it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
