A very cool house
 
I want to build one.

ON the front porch table was a pile of rocks and blue cast-glass nipples fitted with aluminum collars that looked like the tops of space-age baby bottles. Bullet holes puckered the glass of several window panes. A swing rigged from a galvanized water tank groaned in the dusty wind. And Suzie, a dog who splits her time between this property and a neighbor’s, tipped her food out of its cast-iron skillet and thrust a wet nose into a visitor’s hand.

The best part is how he collected most of the stuff from the trash and built a really cool off-the-grid house. I could live in a place like that.

I like it. It's different and interesting.

it better be "cool" if he's in the Mojave.

and . . . blue nipples?

His dildo flower arrangements were quite interesting.

Not bad at all. Might be be to comfortable but it is different. I have seen some cool houses made out of shipping containers.
