Flattr - Le micropaiement social Stanley Chow Illustration How to Build a House for $5,000 (17 pics) How can you build a house if you have only $5,000? Simon Dale, a self-build devotee, knows the answer. He constructed his woodland home entirely from natural and reclaimed materials, including tiles from a showroom skip and spent $4,900 and only 4 months on this low-impact living. Check out the pictures of the plans of the house and the house itself that reminds of a hobbit house from The Lord of the Rings.

The Street Art Of Phlegm Is Freaking Sick! (16 Pictures) August 31, 2011 | 1 Comment | Topics: Art Hot Stories Around The Web Friends Of Caveman Circus Hot On The Interwebz byjess.net Originally posted at visual.ly Ten years ago, I created the first in what would become a hugely popular series of annual visualizations of the federal budget, “Death and Taxes.” It was, in retrospect, garbage: There was no reason for it to be anything but garbage. But if you can’t be the best at something, be the first. The image became a brief internet hit two years later, in 2006, and I started doing one each year. Along the way, I became known as an infographics guy, which developed into some great opportunities and partnerships. But with my own personal development and opportunies came new demands for my time, and the annual research and production of the Death and Taxes poster is not something I could continue. Fortunately, around that time I was approached by Nathaniel of Time Plots about continuing the posters’ production. So starting with the 2014 edition of Death and Taxes and going forward, Nathan and his crack team will be handling all development and production of the poster.
