What an Art Teacher Does In His Spare Time

Art Is In The Air

 

Michael Buck is an art teacher that put his professional creativity to the real test.  He decided to build a very simple and sustainable cob house with only $250 in material cost, and didn’t use a single power tool to do it.  Enjoy the photos and admire his accomplishment!

 

Mr Michael Buck, a 59-year-old retired teacher of art from Oxfordshire, England decided to build an adorable cob house out in his garden for $250 (£150). Making sure to use only reclaimed or natural materials and with no gas, water or electrical mains Buck has been able to keep things simple while saving a lot of money. He built the entirely handmade home without a single power tool! The walls are painted with a plant resin and chalk mixture. Cooking is done on a little gas stove in the kitchenette or on the wood burner. Because he classified the building as a summer house he didn’t need permission from the city in order to build the unique structure.
