[Simon Dale](http://www.simondale.net/hobbit.htm) set out on a project that really knocked me off my feet. With only $5,000, he built his own hobbit home in the Welsh countryside. Simon designed it to be as eco-friendly as possible, using mud, rocks, hay, tree branches, and tree bark. If you ever wanted to see what it looks like to live in a home totally made of earth, this is it!
