Build your own Hobbit House
This is pretty neat, if you’ve got the time you can build your own “Hobbit House” just like this family did! Not only that, but it’s an eco-friendly house too! Although Simon Dale may have been motivated a little by Frodo and Samwise, the project was really motivated by the idea of reducing the ecological footprint and living in as self sufficient and self reliable way as possible. The house was also very low cost (roughly $6000 CAN) which might be motivation enough for some people. I wonder if such a house could survive the rigours of a Canadian winter?
