It turns out that in order to build a house, buying building materials is not necessary. Below, we give a number of examples that clearly demonstrate that with the desire and ingenuity, a variety of substances, including waste, can be used as the main building material for the erection of the house.
Concrete pipes
If you leave Mexico City in a southerly direction, then approximately? hour drive, you can drive to a very unusual hotel "Tubohotel". It is remarkable that the building is assembled from concrete pipes of large diameter. The internal space of each such pipe is arranged as a hotel room. It has a queen-size bed, electricity, a comfortable temperature, and Wi-Fi internet access. Glass entrance doors, if desired, are hung with special curtains.
Bottles of champagne
Houses of empty bottles are built relatively often. About the construction of another such building, we are periodically informed by the media. So, recently a resident of Zaporizhzhya used bottles of champagne, as the main material for building a house in his dacha section.
Paper money
One Irish unemployed artist solved his housing problem by building a house of paper money, a total denomination of 1.4 billion euros. True, the enterprising unemployed agreed with the bank on the use of bills being withdrawn from circulation and subject to recycling. Such money is destroyed in special choppers. The artist took the resulting paper shavings and pressed it into briquettes, similar to bricks. Of these, he built himself a house.
Straw
This material was widely used as a building and roofing material. This inexpensive material is characterized by low thermal conductivity and therefore the houses from it are well kept warm. However, there are problems with strength and fire hazard, but modern methods of processing allow them to be successfully solved. Straw, properly processed, is not flammable and does not rot. Built from her house from it is quite capable of serving long enough.
Bags with earth
From bags filled with soil, you can build a decent house. You just need to fill the ground with a sufficient number of bags and put the appropriate structure out of them. It is better to moisten the earth slightly and carefully compact it. The structure will be stronger if the bags are fastened together with a barbed wire.
Firewood and clay
The erection of such a house is a very laborious process and requires a large quantity of firewood, which must not only be split properly, but also be fitted in length. Nevertheless, it is possible to build a house of almost any size from wood with clay solution (of course, it does not go about skyscrapers, but a two-storey building is quite realistic). By the way, these houses are well kept warm.
Shipping containers BU
One of the cheapest options. Inside, the container can be trimmed and furnished so that a completely comfortable room will turn out. You can go further and use several containers of BU, connecting them with each other through the openings. Then you get a house that can accommodate several rooms for different purposes (living rooms, kitchen, etc.).
Truck tires and other rubbish
The architect M. Reynolds came up with an original way to use worn tires. He filled them with soil and used them as blocks for building a house. The inventor went further and adapted for the construction of other garbage, which is often thrown directly to the streets. So Reynolds sought to appeal to the conscience of constantly littering people and clear the habitat. It is not known how successful these initiatives were, but the fact that he got an original and quite full house.
