I'd be willing to wager that the extension from the lower roof to the left-hand silver lookin' cylinder would be the
catchment system. Gotta look hard but you can see what I'm referring to.

Yeah I saw those and the pipes, so I was thinking they were the main cisterns, but maybe the wood one was an aux. With the watersystem from rain catchment, if it was mine I wouldn't use it in that big of a hot tub or pool. Maybe something smaller, but that is a big tub. But then again maybe so.

Wow! I like the idea of the earthen covering, but something about the row of buzzards on top kinda kills the homey feel :lol:

8) Not buzzards. Them's turkeys. :beer:

P.S. Around here it takes at least two, maybe three, dry, stringy, wild turkeys to get the meat equal to one plump, juicy Butter Ball.

Wow! I actually admire this simplicity/economy. :envious:

It just needs a deck, some chairs and a couple of palm trees for the hammock...and a pink flamingo or two.

Did you steal this from my neighborhood ? I'm positive it was parked 2 blocks down on the street between 10-11th for the last 3 years. It's just not right that you guys come and steal our local treasures from downtown San Jose

The permanent tent trailer is on an island in the middle of a river in Pennsylvania on a leased "camping lot" owned by some city. :?

Besides, the people you are referring to don't build stuff this cleanly. They build stuff like this:
