You Could Build A Home For $250

What could you  do with $250? Buy a one-way plane ticket? Splurge on an evening out? What about build a charming little cob home, in which you – or someone else – might live?

If you chose the last option, you’d be in good company with Michael Buck, a British farmer who hand built the charming abode shown below:

Oddity Central reports that the 59-year-old retired art teacher from Oxfordshire crafted the tiny house in his garden for a mere £150 (USD $250). He did this by using no power tools and using only materials that he could find. In addition, he didn’t need to pay any special permits, as the cob home is considered a summer home.

Could this be the answer to US homelessness? Works for me.

But my guess is the powers that be would tear this down. They want their hobbits in books and on the big screen, not living next door to them.
