Scrap House

Wow. These people in San Francisco built an entire house using nothing but trash. They got all their material from junk yards or scrap yards, and ended up spending less than $3,000 on the whole house! Take a look at the video, it’s pretty impressive (and cool). It makes you think about all the stuff that we are constantly throwing away instead of finding a way to reuse.

Be sure to check out their site, especially their page on green building. All in all, I’m thinking these people are some eco-heroes.

    Thanks for pointing that out, it looks like they took the video down :( I'll check to see if I can find it somewhere else.

    Okay, I found the same video somewhere else. It really is a very cool video, a whole house built from scrap.
