  • A woodcutter who built his own Hobbit House revealed he has never watched Lord of the Rings - and lives almost off-grid despite being nearly 90.
    Great-grandad Stuart Grant, 89, moved into the cottage he bought as a wreck with no roof and no doors in 1984, while he was renovating a house.
    But he found it so satisfying doing DIY on the quirky outbuilding which dated back 200 years, that he decided to make it his home.

    If I'm half that successful and comfortable at 90, I'll consider my life well lived.

    I just love his sweet soul. He's such a giving man. His home, his "hobbit house", is a stunning work of art! I have a feeling this lovely home is ever-evolving. A true work of love and his life. Another thing that shows the kindness of this gentle man's heart, is that any money he makes regarding his home is given to those in need. What a kind, warm-hearted, humble man.

    The house is incredible. Definitely his labour of love. My wish should he ever part this earth, that this dwelling be placed on the historical society's care. Provided of course that no living relative is available to inherit the place. I wouldn't want to see this go the way alot of houses have gone across Europe. Squabbles by relatives over possessions, houses in receiverships to banks because relatives refuse the inheritance because of taxes & other costs to the point these properties become derelict, vandalised & just time capsules for urbexers.

    Craft's of the Crofts my Ulster Scot, Scots Irish, Scottish American heritage. A simple dairy farm life I grew up in Southern California gone now. Dairies I grew up on turned into housing tracts warehouses, distribution, shopping centers, etcetera. Historical plaques, street, park, school names etcetera all that's left. Lucky I got to grow up before all was gone. Don't understand people. Land of milk and honey wasn't good enough had to have more. Vineyards, oranges lemons, watermelons, strawberries, walnuts, potato's, alfalfa, beef, chickens, eggs, etcetera. All the food you can imagine practically or at times free. Sacrilege stuck shopping grocery store for everything now grown on corporate factory farms. Feel sorry for kids these days. China Disney, Walmart generations.shopbtillvyou drop gone to hell in a handbasket made in China mothers and grandmother's, most don't even know how to cook let alone sew clothes and take care of the home for the kids. Can't wait till school starts back up a common refrain, can't wait to get rid of the kids and let the schools raise them. Turning boys into girls and girls into boys. Lord have Mercy.
