1. I WILL build a recycled art-house sometime in my lifetime.

I just wish the code system wasn't so strict within city limits.

I'm completely jealous of all the people who have had the will and the drive to build these unique gems.

5. That is so cool!

I'm not a big fan of modern art/architecture, but I like this. It reminds me of the "Outsider" art so prevalent/popular here in the South. I love to see stuff being recycled instead of ending up in a landfill.

6. What about the missile silo homes?

About 15 years ago a couple bought an old underground missile silo. They made it their home. It was all underground. It's really a good idea to live underground because you're insulated from the climate and you don't have to worry about tornados or hurricanes. I suppose their is always a threat from earthquakes, but I doubt if the government would build a missile silo on a fault line.

7. Sounds like an awful lot of work and jumping through hoops...

But I'd love to see it when it's finished. Certainly a positive use for a classic old plane. :)
