Woman to build house out of 747

[DeclinetoState]

A California woman is going ahead with the construction of a house made of elements from a 747 Jumbo jet.

Francie Rehwald wanted her house to look "feminine", have curves and be eco-friendly. Her architect's answer was: "Let's use a 747!"

The wing of the Boeing jet will be used for the roof, its nose as a meditation temple while its trademark "bulge" will serve as a loft.

The plane's parts were obtained from an aeroplane scrap yard in California. <!-- E SF -->

Supposedly it will be eco-friendly.

I say, "why not." I'd do it if I could get an old 747 and a parcel of land to keep it on. Plenty of room and I could easily fit it for appliances and the like.
