Macgregor Knox house 6-10-76 Job No 892

Client: Knox Plan Dated: 6-10-1976 Job Number: 892
Description: Alistair mentions this building in 'Living in the Environment' (p140). There is another small building of note on our property. It is an attic bedroom that my second son, Macgregor, built for himself when he was fifteen. It is composed of large posts, wattle and daub infills, and attached to the room he was living in. The cost of the house in materials purchased, apart from the glass and the electrical connections, was $7 for some rusty iron. The odd timber and bricks were purchased from odd materials we had lying around the property. In fact the further we have gone the better the results, provided you do it yourself, either by direct work or the exchange of talents with other members within the community.
