Oh god the bottle wall is crap, he's right.

How much sarcasm can he use without them realising?

"Hippy, dippy, cliche"

Well said

Cap'n; the solar accumulator canna take any more pressure

I don't believe they are real eco-hippies.

If they were, all the hippy chicks would be working 'sans le brassiere' and giving us plenty of jiggly nipple action.

[nogginthenog]

at least it isn't yet another glass & steel 'loads-a-money' job like the rest of this series.

A few thoughts :

Foundations - are there any?

Why didn't they hire a trench-rammer to fill and compact all those tyres?


The builders wife - Sian... you would wouldn't you? Even with hairy pits?

Is she pregnant yet?

No, he probably couldn't make it through the forest.

I notice there is no filming of the filthy polluting concrete being laid. I wonder why.

[FourWheelDrift]

Recycling their own waste, for what food?

[Skywalker]

Everyone sits on the toilet in that gaff.
Very sexual politics.

[gazza_3]

I find it very easy not to like that house.

[Bungleaio]

If the rooms are wide enough it'd make a nice garage.

[rfisher]

Errrrrrrrrrrrrm

No.

[robinhood21]

I'd be surprised if those walls ever fully dry out.

Aye, a revisited would be good on this one.

A moderate downpour and I reckon it'll dissolve.

Chemical toilet is fvckin brutal too, no thank you.

Yup!

... well I thought it was pretty good.... considering they knew very little about building at the outset...
Really warm feel to the finished house.
Looked a coherent design despite there being no architect, and refreshing not to see the usual contrivd minimal/modern expensive sh!t there normally is.

Would never get built here due to UK regs.

and she didn't get pregnant... though as discussed above there may be reasons for this!

Loving the wit of Mcloed this series. Much freer with his words.

It's a bit like a Lordship without any money changing hands!

[danoli777]

Did he say the total spend was 147k which inlcuded 12k for the site?

They had a lot of free labour and used mostly free/recycled materials so where did all the money go?
