(hat tip pique) Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9JkPk0CIo4 I like the concept, I have a lot of respect for the man, his vision, and his noble and humble roll-up-the-sleaves leadership in this movement. I do wonder ... would the houses be "up to code" (even if it's "up to code" in certain fair-weathered parts in Texas, what about places with heavy snow load, places with earthquakes)? Any chance of connecting to town sewer, water, gas?

Habitat for Humanity offers locations called Re-Stores for reselling building materials that are surplus from other projects. It funds the HH projects, allows people to recycle things that would otherwise become landfill, and provides low cost supplies for many homeowners or renters. |
