Wtf is this airplane house?

It's a good idea. Makes good use of all the planes in the "airplane graveyard" out in Arizonia. But for $285.000 you could build one sweet house the conventional way.

But that's ok...it's a cool repost. I guess if YOU had an airplane sitting in your backyard, you'd probably want to find something to do with it too.
 
I saw something similar (but not a repost) a long time ago. I think on Slashdot. Someone had gutted a jet, removed the wings and basically made it into a 'trailer style' home. At the time the folks were discussing how the transportation and other things to make it 'liveable' were quite expensive. It looks like this place has solutions to most of that.

I'm not to keen on the pedestal thing... having to go up and down all those stairs w/ the groceries would be a royal PITA. But, if I could afford the land to put that on, and the home, I could probably afford a peoplemover of some sort too.

Wired news from slashdot list

Guy who already done it

Of all those links, I know I read something else, as I distinctly remember the outerframe being bare metal (aluminum) and not painted, and no wings... so could have been a different posting, but, the point is the idea is not new.
 
Wait, is "iwearnosox" the same one thats bidding??!?!

Edit: the link iwearnosox gave is to an auction that ended Aug 22nd.
