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.
