Build a Pigsty Out of Empty Bottles
In this instructable i will share my experience in building a pigsty out of empty bottles.Why? because it is cheap or free and easy to do it also sort of recycling.
I already have built a pigsty out of lumber and a mixture of clay and sawdust but unfortunately Vietnamese pigs gnaw through such walls+(( construction out of empty bottles not an new idea but I discovered that better to put bottles together with tile adhesive than cement.
by the way Vietnamese pigs are pretty aggressive so do not bother them when they eat or Yasha will eat you+))

Getting Started
First you will need lots of glass bottles, i booth some part from local glass collector and some part collected my self.
After collecting required amount of vodka bottles we need to construct some type of foundation.. i used concrete plate that was laying around from previous owner of the land you can pour normal concrete foundation.
In corners I put ordinary bricks,
OK now lets start to build from bottles,
Well the are no instructions just put bottles in a row and some tile adhesive on top of them an more bottles and again tile adhesive step by step..

Exterior Trim
For exterior plaster i use same tile adhesive and fiberglass mesh.
just attach fiberglass mesh to the wall with special nails or do like me just use ordinary nails with flattened beer bottles caps +) next stage to spread a thin layer of tile adhesive with a spatula and let it dry that's all.
oh and for ceiling i used old wooden beams and boards, no special fixing just ordinary nails

Roof
As you can see roof made from scrap wood and laid out with roofing felt.
I have not decided yet what to do with attic maybe i will keep there chickens or turkeys or something like that.
In fronton i made a service door, attic is tied space and will be easier to clean up.
Thanks for reading, good luck with you're building experiments+))
P.S. sorry for my English i used to Ukranian
