Some really cool ideas for recycling, but I wonder what the local building codes would have to say about it.

I liked the cob home. I'd to have one large room, a great room, with small romms off for bath, storage and sleeping. easy cleaning. I'd go with contemporary inside and with furnishings. Open and airy with lots of self cleaning windows.

Has anybody seen anything about recycling Plastic milk bottles in this way? Wonder if they could be used for anything, right now I am using them for plant pots and things. It seems I accumulate so many of them so quickly and I don't want them going to a land fill.
