I'm Living In a Jet Plane...

Jumbo architecture turns jet into dream home - Yahoo! News

Interesting story. They're converting a 747 plane into a house. I like the recycling idea, though it'll be expensive to complete...

"The wings will be the main house. The cockpit will become a meditation temple, the jet's trademark hump will become a loft and the remaining scrap will be used for more buildings."

"Think about the airplane as a giant aluminium can. It's 100 percent recyclable product. It represents an abandoned infrastructure unutilized, billions of dollars of research and development that went into the plane, a 200-million dollar airplane, that you can buy for 40,000 dollars."
