The house is made from recycled materials. The decorative window panes were created from the hardware cloth that runs throughout the papercrete for structural support. It is backed with two layers of soda bottle plastic, one clear, one green. The door was cut from a salvaged wooden shelf board. The porch is an old ceramic tile. Leftover asphalt roof shingles and tar paper will be installed over the block once the house is in place and covered with soil.
