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.
It's a little on the small side, but Steve James claims on his website, you can built four story buildings with the same technology... and a little more money.

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

Has this guy not read "The Three Little Pigs"? He's just asking for a visit from a wolf.

Things did not go well for the first pig.

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.

It looks like a Cornish Pasty wearing a Robin Hood Hat.

Surely, your weather can't be worse than Dumfries, Scotland.

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