Congratulations...Kristin, your house sounds lovely. Congratulations on being so environmentally responsible. As for a little underground Hobbit house, I think with a warm fire and a lamp to read by on long winter nights -- with a cup of hot chocolate -- it would be deliciously cozy. But in the summer I, too, would like some light wells or tube lights.Paxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-87465927214035733602019-10-26T11:51:32.283-04:002019-10-26T11:51:32.283-04:00You could well be right, Kristin.

Judging from some of the other pictures on the web site, these huts could have a window in the back wall, too, and of course Tolkien describes Bilbo's house as having windows. But there's no doubt that lack of windows is a risk in living underground, and I sure do appreciate my windows! So maybe I'd better stick with tree houses after all. =)Anne E.G.

There are only windows on the south side of the house, which is pretty much all windows. Still, the interior of the the house is pretty dark unless you turn on lights or add a tube light, which we've only done in two places so far. There is no interior cozy fireplace, which is too bad. I think that little hobbit house would be pretty dark with not much window!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.com
