I admire the audacity to build something like this on your own, my perfectionism (and laziness) would probably get in my way.

That and he obviously has some awesome neighbors who are hopefully able to get in on some of that sweet hydroelectricity.

- cmbaus 13y agoQuote from the site regarding his house: "I wanted to avoid using buiulding (sic) material that tries to look like something it isn't, but with the siding I had no choice: ALL siding materials I can buy try to look like wood! So, unfortunately, my house is wrapped in faked wood. It doesn't look too bad, but I would have preferred something different." This drives me nuts as a home owner. I don't mind using synthetic materials in my house, but why are are they all skeuomorphic? Plus I love the way the house is framed with bricks and mortar. I wish more houses were still built like this in the US, but I suspect that labor would make it cost prohibitive.
