on the drive with kenny jones – we find the latest technological advancements and bring them to you in a segment called “great inventions of the 21st century“.
some of them are quite amazing while others…well, make you cringe, give you the shivers or make you down right sick to your stomach. like this one…
it involves contractors, human hair and houses.

that’s right, a woman in england has added an extension to her house, built with human hair. The london telegraph says 42 year old contractor, paula sunshine (sounds like a hippie to me) gathered up the raw materials from local hairdressers as well as using her own and her dog’s.
look out cousin it, she’s thinkin’ about adding on a garage!
i’d tuck that hair under your hat!
she decided to substitute cattle hair in her lime render mixture with the human hair. the hair apparently acts like fibers that hold the plaster together.
“we don’t get many long-haired cattle around here anymore so i used human hair. people say it’s not think enough but you just put more in.”
~ paula sunshine
she plans on giving it plenty of nutrients in hopes that it will grow a porch. she is also rubbing rogaine into the roof and anxiously awaiting a second story.
has anyone checked to see if the curtains match the drapes? okay, okay – i’ll stop. but you were all thinkin’ it!
