I keep meaning to ask him if I can snag some photos to share; the quality of the work is pretty impressive. It's got two bogs in it now, its own deck, and a bedroom on the upper floor :-) cheers Jules |

Must have understanding neighbours. Neighbours? He lives in the middle of a desert in the Southern USA. I expect the nearest neighbours are 40 minutes away. Watch the video properly, and you can see the neighbouring houses are only just the other side of the fence. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Bit of ground movement and it will crack and break up. Indeed. Also, I initially thought "why all that insulation in the walls and ceiling and none under the floor?". Then I realised that it was to keep the heat *out* and that heat rising through the floor may not be a problem. Not totally convinced, though! -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
