Hello! Ever see glass bottles incorporated into alternative builds like Earthships or cob houses? They are pretty awesome and fun to build! I have a YouTube channel called "Owner Builders Unite" and we made a few videos on building with bottles... good tips and worth checking out if you're planning on using them in your build! Thought the folks on permies would dig em!

Enjoy!

We have a partial bottle wall in our stone built wood "shed" - contents consumed during the build.
