Man builds Champagne bottle house

Resident, 52-year-old Hamidullah Ilchibaev, collected the 12,000 Champagne bottles over three years to build his 99-square meter house, as reported by Oddity Central. Most of the bottles were purchased while others were donated by nearby restaurants.

“When I started to build, I hadn’t even imagined that there are so many different kinds of bottles of champagne,” he said.

Using the bottles as bricks, Ilchibaev stacked his collection bottle neck inwards around a solid foundation leaving a gap between the insulation and the top of the bottle into which he poured a solution which holds the bottles in place, as well as keeping the building warm.
