Hobbit home extraordinaire


A friend sent me a link to this website, which chronicles the building of a real-life, low environmental impact house in Wales. Built by Simon Dale and his father-in-law, "with help from passers-by and visiting friends," the home cost the equivalent of about $4,500 - $5,000 to build.

Love these natural, environmentally friendly, small footprint, inexpensive homes! Treehouses and yurts have always appealed to me. Check out these resources:
