Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 26, 2010 10:53 am Has anyone built a house out of stone? We have some land in the country where we are going to build our home. Any comments appreciated. Re: Anyone built a house out of stone? 2Dec 26, 2010 12:05 pm Heard good things about stone compared to houses of sticks or straw. Plenty of people have built stone houses over the eons so are you planning to build it yourself or a builder to do it ? Is local stone in abundance on site or would you have to ship in?

Re: Anyone built a house out of stone? 5Dec 26, 2010 1:06 pm Ha, yes, was thinking of using sticks and leaves but figure the kids might not enjoy the rain coming in. It is in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. There are a few stone masons that I will contact. There doesn't seem to be the abundance of stone that is in Victoria and South Australia - although I have only just started looking. Definitely getting a builder to do it, although I've seen a few projects where people have done it themselves, I just don't have the time or the passion for that. I guess I was hoping a few people out there might have built a house out of stone recently and have thoughts to share.
