5,800 bottles of beer on the wall er … house

Wordless Wednesday

Hmmm … if you’ve been saving all your beer bottles and not returning them to the liquor store, here’s an idea for you – turn them into a house!

AUSTRALIA-BOTTLE HOUSE

This Australian man used 5,800 beer bottles to build his “bottle house”. It only took him 40 years to collect all the bottles.

    Hey, why not, right?
    Glass is a great architectural material.

    Where do you store 5,800 beer bottles for 40 years. Its a very clever idea for bringing tourism into the area.

    Haha good on him. I can’t believe he spent 40 years doing that though. I bet he is a little bit crazy. Haha. : )

    40 years that’s only 1 beer every 2 days…

    This guy needed to drink a little more.

    That’s recycling at it’s best. This guy should start a museum there or make it a local attraction to help keep the house up.

    Next to the recycling aspect, this is also simplistic living at it’s best! Who says we need million dollar houses with swimming pools, private theaters and tennis courts?

    So…if a strong gale force wind comes by won’t that be the end of his house? I’m just sayin’

    40 years to save the beer bottles, and how many years to sober up afterwards?
