The site offers basic plans, as well as technical resources. For example, one thing you might want to consider in your planning is Large Elliptical Precast Concrete Pipe."

    3. Wines from the sixteenth century (now valued at millions a bottle) in the basement.
    2. It's new -- with the exception of a single ten-acre area, there is no hobbit hole in the WORLD. Be the first on your block?

    1. MORTGAGE HAS 2002 DATE. This is NEARLY A YEAR of tax deductions. Unpresidented!!

  2. Great idea but.... by sawilson · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Nobody old is going to build one of these because
    they'd feel too stupid, and nobody young is going
    to build one of these because they are already
    spending all their money on fartpipes and wheels
    for their hondas so they can pretend they are
    "fast and furious". I don't see a market for this.
