You have to think carefully before building your perfect dream home from quirky materials. You may be able to save a lot of money and it may be just what you think you want at first, but in time, your dream home could become a nightmare. For instance, the couple who built their home entirely of recycled windows and glass doors.
It looks great at first and saved a lot of money, but it’s colder in the winter, hotter in the summer and leakier in the rain. So if you want to have a one of a kind house, make sure you do all of your research and make sure it makes as much building sense as it does design sense.
