]]> <![CDATA[A Plastic "Bubble House" from 1968]]> @strider_mt2k: I'm wondering if that is the reason they went out of production. It's mind-boggling why good ideas like this, and the Geodesic Dome, don't take off (read: trailer parks).
I literally stumbled across a geo-dome "kit" complete, 2 bed / 1 bath for $5K. Cheap homes that are eco-safe are a good idea.
