“Brian Stinchcombe built his own straw bale house for only TEN THOUSAND POUNDS, as shown in this video.

“Officials at Brecon Beacons National Park are worried that the 40ft by 20ft dwelling in the scenic South Wales countryside will open the way to more requests for building.” Yes, we can’t have that, can we – people building their own houses and living mortgage free. Affordable council houses are currently being built for a maximum of £110,000, maybe less.” Affordable? The walls of Brian’s house can’t have cost more than £500 for the straw.”
