TOB 182 April/May 2014

The latest issue of The Owner Builder will be on sale nationwide from 1 April 2014.

Each issue, we choose one article to share online. This time we have decided to share ‘Stone Haven’, an earth sheltered stone faced home.

The full article can be viewed on our website: Stone Haven

Some of the individual photographs from the article can be viewed below. You can also download your very own TOB 182 screen saver / wallpaper! Carry a little bit of TOB goodness with you, from issue to issue.
