You are looking at pictures of a house that Simon Dale built for his family in Wales. It was built by him and his father in law with help from passers by and visiting friends. 4 months after starting they were moved in and cosy. He estimate 1000-1500 man hours and $5000 put in to this point. Not really so much in house buying terms (roughly £60/sq m excluding labour).

Free Filtered Water For Reusable Bottle Users - The Trend Grows

The Chicago Department of Aviation has installed filtered water stations especially designed for reusable bottles at both O'Hare (Terminal 2) and Chicago Midway airports. Not only is this a boon to those of us with reusable bottles and a real aversion to buying bottled water. It's also saving CO2 emissions. Yes, a drop in the proverbial bucket, but a start in turning back the massive tide of bottled water that is so damaging to our environment and so unnecessary. At both the airports, there's a Liquid Disposal Station before security lines, and refill stations are located right next to the regular drinking fountains (a big plus, as it is quite difficult to refill bottles at the regular fountains). You simply set your bottle onto the station's metal tray and refill happens hands free.

Our new location is in West Mt. Airy, Philadelphia about 10 minutes from our previous studio location in Manayunk. We have a long term lease through the Fairmount Park Historic Preservation Trust for a wonderful 18th century estate house situated on a cul-de-sac deep in the woods next to the lovely Wissahickon Creek. The location is called Glen Fern and originally it was the estate home of Thomas Livezey who one of the most prosperous millers in the Colonies.

Here is the online Google Street view weblink to Glen Fern.
