The Scraphouse

When I was teaching, I must admit that I always looked forward to those days when it was appropriate to show a film or some other kind of video -- sometimes, you just need a little break from being in front of the room. That's the approach I'm taking to tonight's post -- after having guests at the house most of the day, and putting my interview with Summer Rayne Oakes for Treehugger to bed (look for it in the morning), I'm a bit bedraggled. I found this 4 1/2 minute clip of the Scraphouse, a house built entirely from discarded materials, at Hugg, and thought it was a really cool concept for promoting reuse in building construction. Enjoy!
