Wooden Backyard Roller Coaster

published on March 12th, 2007 . by joe

This looks fun.  I’m kinda curious how safe it is though.  According to the owner’s site, the roller coaster cost $5,500 to build, required 2,900 board feet of lumber, and can get up to a top speed of 20 mph.

Thin Living in Brazil

published on March 11th, 2007 . by joe

I don’t think I’d be able to live in such a narrow house.  I guess you must get used to it though.

Incredibly, this house is only 1 meter wide by 10 meters tall. Located in Madre de Deus Brazil, it only has 3 floors. Helenita, the designer and owner of the house is now living in it with no complains.

Husband Saws House In Half During Bitter Divorce

The 43-year-old homeowner, who is currently going through an unpleasant divorce, apparently decided to split the couple’s possessions right down the middle. So he cut their summer house in half with a chainsaw.
After finishing the job, he loaded his half onto a forklift and drove it to his brother’s house, which is where he is now staying.

I was expecting neon and a lotta tech. The pictures are still impressive though.
