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.

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.
