TFTC Baz&Syd.
G'nite, will not dream of living in that design hanger.....xxx
Building a house in the shape of a plough tonight, in Devon. I'm sure the neighbours will be delighted. 
I actually like the shape and interior designs of the type buildings.

I just nipped into the kitchen to boil some eggs and pasta for tomorrow's lunch, ended up washing tomatoes, chopping radish and slicing cucumber.
I'm not entirely sure they planned the start at the right time of year!!
Now they are crowdfunding to raise ÂĢ60K.
I wonder what the 'perks' are or if they have just donated money?
"cob" (sp) seems a very labour intensive way to build and time consuming.
I really can't wait for the reveal on this one.
The guy looks like Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall ...
Ah, the crowdfunders get cider and wine as their 'perk'.
I like the general simplicity. I think some would want more colour.
A lot of these buildings need time to 'settle' into their surroundings.

I'm not so convinced about that 'cooking barn', looks a bit unfinished.
Modern is the way to go

Being Devon, I would imagine that they were restricted somewhat, materials and shapes.
TFTC everyone

It featured some really wonderful houses and more beautiful settings. Loved this show and will watch again!
