The Earthship at Grand Designs

So if you are a fan of TV shows about property (the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition type), boy, is the UK the place for you!! British TV has probably got more shows about buying/selling/restoring/decorating/building property than anywhere else in the world.

My favourite one, without a doubt, is Grand Designs; and I REALLY liked last weeks built of an earthship. This house was completely eco-friendly, with its walls and foundations built only with recycled rubber tires (yes!) and timber logs. No concrete went into this building at all, and the owners reused as much material as they could (their bathroom sink is a carved rock!!)

I specially liked the bathroom wall decorated with recycled bottles:

What a beauty!!

And their round bedroom with niches on the walls come a close second favourite:

And the best thing…the price! This house came up to an amazing £140K!!
