Reclaimed floorboards and windows were donated
by customers of his local vegetable box scheme. Water comes from
an old well and a spring. Michael used no power tools in its
construction. The little cottage is used by Michael and seasonal
farm workers. Michael says, "I believe
in the idea of houses not costing much. A house does not have to
cost the earth; you only need earth to build it."
In the video above the picture right you can see another of
Michael's cob buildings, a small work room that catches the
sunlight in a very special and magical way. |
