  • Not sure why there is even a negative comment about this ...THAT HOUSE IN THE PICTURE LOOKS NICE EVEN IF IT IS 25K...IM IMPRESSED!

  • Where can i get these, I am in Houston texas, but i figure shipping couldnt be that bad :) I work 1 month and I am off 1 month, so this could really work for me :)

  • make it from hemp

  • you can build any size home and any style home you want, you can make any home beautiful thats up to you! you can add concrete dies to ur block, you need to do the re search on building with earth/cob and papercrete homes! Then tell me wht you think. you will be so surprised at the beautiful homes you will find and shocked, that homes is made outta cob/earth and or papercrete, and even tires filled with earth, look it up...

  • Are you all that silly don't u know by now if u do all the work and make all the building supply's ur self its way cheaper to build, and yes you can build this same house for a small amount of money BUT you gotta make the blocks ur self and have great friends, Its like back in the olden days when they had barn raising everyone came together and built wht ever needed to be built, they helped each other for FREE! Thats the way it still should be BUT people gotta have that money!

  • @pistonmeyers even with 14 days and 25k ,, still cheap ...and structurally strong building

  • @natezgreat4222 lol should of read description

  • well i don't believe your price is correct but the illegal alien drywaller probably saved allot lol

  • That looks like unreinforced masonry construction to my untrained eye.. As I understand it unreinforced masonry is the most dangerous type of structure to be caught in during an earthquake. Good thing they never have earthquakes in Mexico! Oh... wait.. that's right... I fear that somebody is probably going to die under those bricks one of these days..

    This is why construction regulations are a good thing..
