Two-Story Soddie in Nebraska

This link is to a 1962 video about a two-story sod house, very unique for this time.

(if the video will not play, you will probably need to update your Adobe Shockwave Player. It is a free download and if you do a search for "Adobe Shockwave," you should have no problem.)
