New Zealander builds Hobbit hole

A New Zealand man has built a Hobbit house.

Carl Gifford, a stonemason from Wellington, says he used a 10-tonne digger to make the hole.

He's put rocks either side of the front door and plans to install a chimney and lantern on top.

He told the Evening Post he was embarrassed as he was constructing the home.

He said: "I must admit I was hiding as the cars were driving past. I thought, 'These people think I'm an idiot'."

The house is part of a series of stonework mounds, designs and sculptures dotted around his land.

"I'm just having a bit of fun. Things that were built by those ancient people like caves have always fascinated me."

He's lucky he doesn't have to deal with California Building Commission. Here we have to get a permit for everything (or, we're SUPPOSED to.)

Good grief! I just went to the store. Didn't realize I was gonna have to carry the groceries up to the new place. Wouldn't have bought so much.

Hope there's room in the freezer. I spent the mortgage check at Sam's Club.

'Evening! mmm...fresh hole...

Is there a dialup-friendly wedding moot album yet?

[SuziQ]

Well, I'm back!

Nice new digs, and Dubya coming thru the front door; it's great!

Got in a little while ago from the trip to MS and the Girl Cousin Reunion. It was fun, as always, but I'm fixing to go to bed! I only slept one hour the night before I left, and I only slept one hour LAST night before coming back. I need SLEEP!

Talk to y'all later!
