Here’s a very interesting video of this one man building a kiln-fired clay tile roof hut from scratch, entirely by himself (i.e. he made all of the stone tools entirely by hand as well) in about 100 days. While it’s a neat project–a great accomplishment and a neat insight into primitive man–for my inner economist it really is mainly a point of comparison for what kind of house we can build today with a vast capital structure, worldwide trade, and a highly advanced division of labor.
