this link about bottle houses and i had to share it here. i have found the idea of bottle houses facsinating ever since i was a kid. we went on camping trips to death valley, and we saw some bottle houses in the desert in the towns of rhyolite and beatty.

i find the houses to be quite interesting, and i
posted a while back about the homes in new mexico built by architect michael reynolds. those home are positively beautiful! if you have never seen the documentary
"garbage warrior" i recommend it...i still have it saved on my dvr, and watch it over again.
i remember back in the 70's or maybe the 80's, the actor dennis weaver made a rammed earth house, or earthships, as they are called, that used old tires and cans too, i believe. remember
dennis weaver? i used to love, love, love his old tv show, "mccloud". i think his house was in colorado, and remember seeing
something on tv long ago, showing him building it himself. pretty cool concept, don't you think? if we could build our homes, out of the stuff we are throwing away that is cluttering up our poor planet, wouldn't that be wonderful? and then we would also be surrounded by these beautiful, sculptural homes, too!
