delvo might take interest in this one. I agree that it would be cheaper and more fun to have my little airplane hangar kit delivered and have my mom's friend's kid and his friend put it up, etc etc. But I have been checking out all the alternative home builders I can that seem to produce things small (by that I mean inexpensive)-enough to fit into my dream. Here's a site that builds those giant shipping crates that they use on cargo ships and then outfits them into one or two bedroom homes. they look like a big long metal box, but with the right landscaping and creative paint?

I wonder about the flat roof and the amount of rain in my area. I also continue to doubt very much about the building codes in my area allowing this. I doubt it is what I will actually do, it's still pretty neat and innovative in the world of affordable, long-lived maintainable housing. It is one of the strongest disaster proof structures a homeowner could ever have. something to think about.
