Simon and Jasmine Dale, built a private house.
Family couple Simon and Jasmine Dale always dreamed of living on earth. To do this, they decided to settle with two children in Lammas (Pembrochir County). To get the right to stay and build a house on open agricultural land, the pair should have prove that they would be able to become self-sufficient, having a plot of 2.8 hectares over five years. Otherwise, Daila will need to leave this place.
Understanding what an adventure is waiting for them, Simon and Jasmine decided not to take a mortgage, but to spend the minimum amount of money for the construction of an environmentally friendly dwelling.
Establishment of an earthen wall.
To do this, first was dried by a pit. The earthen wall from the hill side strengthened with bags filled with clay mixed with sand and clay. Make this task a pair helped neighbors.
The floors in the house are made of a compressed land, which was impregnated with flaxseed oil and carefully polished. The wooden floors were put down.
Work study with a large panoramic window.
The basis of the roof frame also became natural wood. A hermetic membrane was used as a roof, and sheep wool and hay for heat were laid on top of her. Then the surface was covered with turden so that the roof would look like a continuation of the green hill.
The house is fully built of natural materials.
Cozy bedroom in the Hobbit House.
In the window openings, Simon and Jasmine inserted from used glass. For heat insulation of the walls used sheep wool, bales with hay. The furniture was purchased from garage sales and ebay shopping site.
As the owner himself notes, their home is not close "Nora Hobbit", but a completely spacious dwelling with three bedrooms for the whole family. And if the houses of clay and land are known for a long time, then the real innovation of recent years has become Eco houses from straw.
