Just as I was sitting back in my office and checking out some of the newest real estate news and winding down for the weekend, I came across a Yahoo video about a new home being built in California. Francie Rehwald has a dream that is different than most of us. She is using an old 747 plane to build a house atop a California mountain side. Her daughter said "she is definitely a hippie at heart." Francie herself says "I love to recycle, I love to be green."

Is this story an example of us taking the 'green thing' too far or is this a story about an expanding interest in custom-built, unique homes? Maybe it's about creating art. Maybe this is a trend of using junk yard trash to create new living environments. Whatever the answer, it has me perplexed.
