  25. You need a good Hovel on Making a House That Will Last for Centuries? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Much maligned in recent times, a traditional Hovel can last for centuries if properly maintained. In Europe there are some examples well over 500 years old. Most hovels are built into a hedge, thicket or clump of small trees and consist of a single room with no provision for sanitation, and usually without running water or cable TV. Costly ventilation systems are rarely needed as usually the builder would leave large openings for the smoke to escape. Construction materials usually comprise of sticks, mud and a dash of bovine excrement. Very cheap and can usually be habitable in a few hours. Insects can sometimes be a problem, but once a family of rats move in this usually sorts its self out.
