Woman to build house out of 747

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.

I wonder what kind of food and drink she serves.

"...it seemed to make more sense to acquire an entire aeroplane and to use as many of the components as possible, like the Native American Indians used every part of the buffalo."

How foolish of me not to have immediately seen the connection between a beach house made from a Boeing 747 (plus 'several' million dollars), and the ecological virtues of the Native American Indians.
