Call me crazy...

...but this may be the coolest place to live I've ever seen.

Yeah, I saw that pic on the intar-web thing last week. The caption, which I had no reason to disbelieve, identified it as the Clinton family compound.

I saw it recently. I like it.
Now that you've moved, Tam, you have to stop thinking that way. IN has rednecks, but TN & KY still manufacture more than anybody else.

I love the way the spaces are arranged, but hate the materials, construction techniques, and architectural details.

Container building is the first thing I thought of when I saw that picture. Saw something about it on Discovery or some such last year. Really cool concept for modular building. Here are more examples.

So if I move there does the resident's association REQUIRE me to wear a mullet and carry a miller when in view of the public?

It is a set at an outdoor theater in Amsterdam. Sorry.

A girl can dream, can't she?

I'd totally live there, and I'd be willing to duke it out or jell-o wrestle for the penthouse suite. My mid-century modern sofa would look so sweet in one of those!

Am I the only one who thought of the Disney version of the Swiss Family Robinson?

A trailer park compound?

I always pictured you more as the type to own a converted missile silo.

And Conex box houses rawk - Some of our troops in Iraq have mini apartments built out of them. I've even thought that the 40 footers make a dandy start for an underground pistol range - just add chopped rubber and a ventilator.

Greenhouse needs fixin'.
And the penthouse needs new paint.

Other than that, it's pretty cool.

Thomas Smith: Tallboy High Lifes, thank you very much. This is a swank joint. ;)

Which is, for the record, the Coolest. House. Evar.

Wouldn't living in such an abomination be like giving Mother Nature the finger? I mean you're just begging for Ma Nature to pimp slap your sorry butt to OZ.

Wait.......... Isn't that one on the right Paul's? I recognize your old digs.

If the wireless reception is okay, I'd totally live there.

Or, if you need less space but a little more luxury, you can opt for the German version:
