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." |
It'll be five years this May. Which is a long time in some ways...some days it sure doesn't seem like it's been long at all.

Thanks, Corin...kinda needed that today.
So "get married" is spelled "doom"?
well, okay, but it's not as much fun if you don't show me where...(I couldn't find it)
~sigh~
We should get a reference to when all the regulars first posted. Remember when we used to do weekly post counts? I can't believe the time you must have spent on that.
Hmm, a reference listing everyone's first post should be pretty easy to whip up...
