A Real-Life Hobbit Hole

A Real-Life Hobbit Hole 12/28/2004 05:13 PM

A Maryland couple has plans to build their own Hobbit Hole dwelling, and has set up a website to raise funds for it and to share progress updates.

The floorplan sketch that Rob has provided on his info page doesn't quite follow my interpretation of Tolkien's description of Bilbo Baggins' Hobbit Hole. But even so, it is an interesting project, both from a construction and a funding standpoint.

Anybody want to help me out with some cash for my upcoming kitchen remodel? I'll accept cash, check, money order, or PayPal.
