When buying a home most of us consider residential neighborhoods with traditional homes. Few would consider the idea of converting nonresidential structures into homes but there are those who are more adventurous. The range of unusual structures is broad; from grain silos to old fire towers architects have stretched their imaginations to create truly unique homes. http://homes.yahoo.com/news/10-unexpected-buildings-architects-turned-homes-182943707.html

I saw that on HGTV...or similar (grain bins/firestations/airplanes,etc)
Very cool and unusual!

Wherever the plane lands

The first picture of the airplane is not a home, it's a Hotel in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. I've been there. It's really cool. There's an airplane restaurant there too.

and that's not the plane house that was on HGTV. I think the boat is the coolest one! What a view and how appropriate! I really hope there is an infinity pool on the top deck somewhere.

That looks like a cool place to stay. Was it claustrophobic?

I've seen a couple of features on the storage compartment homes. They are cool.
The ones they've done in old missile silos are neat, too.

Just a short drive from Lake E...

I've been by the boat many times by water and on land. I think that the boat is being used as a bed and breakfast now.

Where I am supposed to be

<<<---could live in a cave. Well of course you could. How different would that be from living in a house in Georgia? Is there indoor plumbing there yet? ::Ducks and runs quickly from thread::
