Chinese man builds home out of cement pipesThis reminds me of a photo site I saw a while ago which had pictures of the 10x10 apartments that the Chinese gov't had provided to people who were moved out of the area that the new dam would flood. I was amazed at the creativity and ingenuity of these people, making 10x10 foot boxes into homes. If anyone

Home sweet cement pipe

A Chinese man has built a house out of two cement pipes.

Xin Yucai, 50, of Shenyang city, even turned down the chance to move into his daughter's apartment he enjoyed living in his unusual home so much.

"My father likes to do things differently," she explained.

"He bought two cement pipes from a construction company and turned them into a real house, with windows, door, and even a chimney."

The daughter says her apartment has enough space for her father but Xin still insisted on making a house of his own.

"We moved once, and he took the pipe house with him."

The house has become a city attraction.

"From time to time, people will come to have a look and take pictures with the pipe house," a neighbour told Huashang Morning News.
