JUMBO JET HOUSE

We have nothing but admiration for the lady below. Who decided that a moment of chance - finding a scrap-yard which was selling off a jumbo jet gave her the idea to build her new home from it. All we have to do is look.


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 airplane scrap yard in California.
