Inexpensive Home Building: Electric Hotel 1905

Inexpensive Home Building

Cut through the jargon and nonsense of home building and house construction by starting from zero dollars and trying to figure best-value bang-for-your-buck when choosing construction methods or construction materials. My research might answer some of your questions and at other times perhaps you have the knowledge or experience to post the answers to my questions and thereby help others too. The goal is an affordable and sustainable home for all.

Electric Hotel 1905

A post about 19th-Century solar power reminded me of Spanish film pioneer Segundo de Chomon's Hotel Electrico (1905, sometimes dated 1908), which uses Wright-Brothers-era stop-motion special effects to show a cross between Popular Science's The Kitchen of Tomorrow and a haunted house.
