It's all cool and all until the code enforcers show up....If you even thought about doing something like that here in SWFL, I think you would probably be shot. I probably should have pulled a permit just to watch the video. Personally, I think it is awesome. You could solve alot of homeless problems cheap, with houses such as that.

NO Shit!

I watched the permit demons run one of the most brilliant architects of our time out of Taos, Michael Reynolds, because he dared the system and built Earthships out on the Mesa. Problem is, they were self sufficient, made of recycled materials and provided honest labor for the kids in town. They hated him, and he didn't care much for them either.

If you have ever seen an earthship, you understand why. It is nothing at all like any house I have ever been in before or since.

Looks like he's taking his show on the road, he went to Indonesia after the tsunami and taught them how to make them, then off to Louisiana after Katrina to give them a hand, now it looks like he is on the Galapagos Islands:
