WTF? I can see brick/cement pillars and roof...
Heavens to recycling! Make it all mixers and the party never ends.
He should build a chimney out of bottle tops....just to cap it off.
“Only the foundation of the property is concrete”
And the pillars, and the roof... Don’t you hate it when journalists are so ignorant they can’t identify things in their own supporting photos?!
Otherwise, a cool house. I don’t think I’d want it next to mine though.
If the women don’t find you handsome, they might as well find you handy.
“No, no, I won’t live in that, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.”

Wonder if he has bricks in his refrigerator?
More power to him....but I’d not wanna be in that house when there’s a fire.
