As anyone who follows my blogs know…I read MSN Real-Estate nearly every day… Well today I cam across this wonderful article about a project in California where they are taking a 747 apart to make a home from its pieces.

(From the article)

Architect David Hertz likens the reuse of the plane’s 4.5 million parts to recycling a “big aluminum can.”

A 50-foot long section of the upper fuselage will be the roof of an art studio on the property. Another section of the fuselage, along with the upper first-class cabin, will become the guest-house roof.

Specially rigged flatbed trucks hauled the pieces to Camarillo, Calif. From there, the 125-foot wings, too long for trucking up winding roads, were dropped in by a Chinook helicopter.
