Looking for a cheap home or housing?
Try one of the suppliers listed below.

Welcome to my homemade website.   I very much enjoy conventional and unconventional building systems designed to provide shelter for humans. I like to study the different possibilities that other people come up with or invent. I use this page to collect different websites featuring conventional and alternative building ideas and some of these ideas here are not necessarily new or the latest but still serve as a reminder of a possible alternative. For the most part, everything i present here is hopefully available for purchase or use by the widest audience possible. I do not like to include items which are so localized that only a few people can access them. This is not an art gallery. Included are the most ugly and practical to the most elegant and beautiful. I hope you enjoy your visit here.

I have removed the underlining normally associated with a link to another website.
