make a turkey house out of tyres?
Random question I know, however we need a turkey house and we have no money and r landlord sells cars and loads of old tyres......and so the thought process begun!! I know in houses they fill the tyres but we havnt got anything to fill them with so all ideas r gratefully received. It doesn't need to be overly tall really and we have a couple of spare wooden doors that someone gave us. To be honest I'm struggling with ideas for the roof!! Xx

Re: make a turkey house out of tyres?
you could make rammed earth walls with the tyres. Stack them layer by layer filling them with earth and ramming it in hard with a post/lump hammer. Overlap your next layer as in brickwork. use smaller tyres to infill at the door. if you make a circular building, you won't need to worry about corners. The roof could be covered with a Tarpaulin and pole arrangement (Like a shallow teepee).
