The BBC reports that "A California woman is going ahead with the construction of a house made of elements from a 747 Jumbo jet:"

Francie Rehwald wanted her house to look "feminine", have curves and be eco-friendly. Her architect's answer was: "Let's use a 747!"

The wing of the Boeing jet will be used for the roof, its nose as a meditation temple while its trademark "bulge" will serve as a loft.

The plane's parts were obtained from an aeroplane scrap yard in California.

I guess this takes recycling to a new extreme...
