The hut for £ 150
This hut if from Middle-earth, and the history of its occurrence is also fantastic. The construction of the house took only 150 pounds, only natural or recycled materials. The payment for the rent of the house take milk and cream.
Small farmer Michael Buck spent 8 months to build this house, using old technology for the construction of huts and materials such as sand, clay, straw, water and earth. On the method of construction, he read in the book.
The supporting structure of the roof is made of wood and covered with straw. The flooring is made of recycled materials, and the glass in the windows is the windshield of an old truck.
To some it may seem that no central heating in a house can be quite cold, but the farmer said that the walls and roof covering do not miss the cold, and the space above the ceiling is insulated with sheepskin neighboring farm, which further contributes to the conservation of heat.
Also in the house has a stove, used for lighting candles and a flashlight. Water can be taken from the stream.
Fridge is a small depression in the ground like a small well situated a few yards from the main entrance hidden from the eyes of higher plants.
The toilet is in a separate shed, with a stunning view of the nature of Oxfordshire, well, the bathroom is the basin.
Despite such spartan conditions, Mr. Buck delivers its unusual properties. And lives in it is not a hobby but an ordinary working woman with a neighboring dairy farm, which is paying for the accommodation of milk and cream.
You can cook on the stove, but the woman has installed a small gas stove in the kitchen.
59-year-old Mr Buck, who himself lives nearby, but in a more comfortable home, says: "I wanted to show that the house does not have to expensive. After all, many people do not like to spend all my life for the payment of the mortgage ».
Initially, Mr. Buck even planned to build a house without spending a penny, but a little mistake in the calculation of the required amount of straw, so he had to buy it.
Also, he had to buy nails. Several friends helped him to build a house, and now their names are written on the wall.
