A really interesting site which tells of how a guy with barely any architectural experience, built this home with the help of just a few people, in only 4 months.
Truly amazing!

      of our family home in Wales. It was built by myself and my father in law 
      with help from passers by and visiting friends. 4 months after starting 
      we were moved in and cosy. I estimate 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 
      put in to this point. Not really so much in house buying terms (roughly 
      £60/sq m excluding labour).</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.simondale.net/house/index.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.simondale.net/img/F8580ACB-71C4-4F64-9E8E-4A3E4FB03C84" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.simondale.net/house/index.htm"><P>The house was built with maximum regard for the environment and by reciprocation 
      gives us a unique opportunity to live close to nature. Being your own (have 
      a go) architect is a lot of fun and allows you to create and enjoy something 
      which is part of yourself and the land rather than, at worst, a mass produced 
      box designed for maximum profit and convenience of the construction industry. 
      Building from natural materials does away with producers profits and the 
      cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern buildings.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C936F884-1743-459B-BDF4-834975E8F34E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
