How to solve the housing problem in just 5000 dollars? Simon Dale Welsh knows the answer. He decided not to pay for rent and not to mess with bank loans, and build in the forest on the hillside its own "house hobbits," as in the film "Lord of the Rings».



In the construction used only natural materials. This project was completed in only 4 months - much less time than waiting for the completion of the construction of their apartments in modern high-rise buildings.

Simon Dale is not a builder or carpenter. He built this house together with his father and druzyami.Vid out the window.



At its creation has been spent only about $ 4900, 4 months and 1000 - 1500 hours.
