And if any house could take less money and local materials to build it, then it's the earth block buildings -THE ATAKPAME BUILDING our people had been building since christ.

How many houses can you build with these bottles? What about security? These bottles poses security problems against vandalism and theft. It's a good idea, but I will not be comfortable sleeping in one of these houses.

How can you say he invented this? So a whole news station could not do a research to know that this is already being done years ago. First saw this 2001.

Unless the current IGP tackles armed robbery head on Ghanaian would prefer the bricks and mortar rather than water bottles innovation. Brilliant for building storing agricultural materials.

This is the type of technology that we can use very quickly to produce goods of any kind. Please l advice those who are reading this piece to go and do some research in 3D additive manufacturing. Its very good and could solve our 1 district 1 factory problem and would open up the door for the youth you become great enterpreneurs.
