More Cheap Housing

Here is another link to a cheap home designed for the very poor. This one is part of a Paraguay project, and it is constructed with leftover loofah fiber. What is loofah you say? It's a fruit from which those hearty bath scrubs are made. Ingenious ideas at work.

Cheap Housing

Supposedly it doesn't collapse in the rain like a cardboard box.
