Woodland Fairy House
This is such an incredible story: A man in Wales fed up with high mortgage rates and the destruction of our planet decides to build his family a home using all natural items with only a chisel, chain saw and axe. It took him four months to build and cost about $4500. Simon Dale who had no experience in building houses believes “building from natural materials does away with producers” profits and the cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern buildings.” The house has solar panels and is heated by a wood stove inside.
More on his philosophy on his site:
My entire being craves to stay in a place like this. It is so magical – can you imagine the stillness, the smell of beeswax candles, the crackle of the fire in the wood stove and the way the earth smells after a rain or heavy dew. Love, Love, Love this place.
This is fantastic. How wonderfully inspiring. When I buy a piece of land I may just follow his lead.
