An alternative to the new-build box

Make: technology in your time: A low impact woodland home

This article differs from most on here and yes the link to HPC is bit weak but I stumbled across this new-build in Wales and thought I would share it.

Stumbleupon - one of the greatest modern inventions.

I saw this recently too and it looks charming. Definitely small, but the idea of zero-impact development (or business for that matter) is a great one.

We would all agree that if you keep taking from a bank account you get into debt, but if you invest in such a way that your assets at least offset your outgoings, you will mathematically end up in the black (ah, sorry, perhaps I should have said all of us except readers of the Daily Mail and inhabitants of No. 11)

Hobbit-tastic!

Now that is a bargain, trouble is that in Devon, land is only available to lawyers and public sector workers - be decree!

Great idea - certainly an idea with a future.

"trouble is that in Devon, land is only available to lawyers and public sector workers - be decree!"

Yes, FTBers need an airborne version. (Jokes about pigs, mights and flying greatly received.)

I like it, but the kids liked it more.

Be interesting to see how long it lasts, looks like a woodworm, woodlouse and beetle paradise.
