| New Zealander builds Hobbit hole A New Zealand man has built a Hobbit house. Carl Gifford, a stonemason from Wellington, says he used a 10-tonne digger to make the hole. He's put rocks either side of the front door and plans to install a chimney and lantern on top. He told the Evening Post he was embarrassed as he was constructing the home. He said: "I must admit I was hiding as the cars were driving past. I thought, 'These people think I'm an idiot'." The house is part of a series of stonework mounds, designs and sculptures dotted around his land. "I'm just having a bit of fun. Things that were built by those ancient people like caves have always fascinated me." |

First!
Slowing down but still chugging along after all these years...
WooHoo! A nice, tidy new Hobbit Hole! I’ll have to go back and read “The Hobbit”. It’s been years since I read it last!
It will be fun discussing the movie stuff, as we get more info about it.
60 AND 70 thousand replies?
Well that makes me feel a little better about myself.
Hello all :)

I’m late, but the new room looks great. Good to see some old timers drop in.
