creating a house with bottles 59

With the raw material prices for construction always on a high, I think using something as uncanny as disposed bottles to raise a dwelling won’t be all that bad an idea.

From furniture to a decent dwelling it could all be done using discarded water bottles.

Not only would this thought help the poor to arrange a small dwelling for themselves but it would also please the environmentalists as this would eradicate the problem of indisposed garbage in the form of plastic bottles.

They can either be fixed one atop the other in a straight-line or a plus sign can be made using the notched middles.
