I don’t see why the government has to interfere with the way someone choses to live. I think that everyone should have the right to build their own home to their own standards. Let’s face it, there are a multitude of others living in commercial developments that are at far greater risk of life-threatening situations than these people in Wales who simply wish to live out their dreams, who do not bother anyone, or wish to be bothered by anyone else. There is no building code in these recent times to dictate that the house would be stable. However, if you look at history, people have used this method to build long-lasting homes for centuries in the past. It is sheer arrogance to think that we are so far advanced now that we can shun time-tested pactices such as this. I would encourage everyone to emulate this project, to help save the environment, and also to build a bitchin’ dwelling that will inspire, last, and provide comfort for you and yours.

They show you a bit of the inside, as well as how they made it.

I’d love a tour as well. Perhaps this can be inspiration for sustainable builders to build some houses like these; if I could afford it, I’d buy one!

This is awesome. I too would love to see the inside. It looks quite beautiful from the outside.

I would love to be able to see inside this home. I think that this is really a unique idea and I hope that they will get left alone to live in peace in it.
