POPSNot Your Fathers Mobile Home Park
The roof is a butterfly roof for water conservation, a new design vernacular we are seeing more of. The wheels lift the structures well above the meadow, keeping the footprint of each hut to the barest minimum, making for a low-tech and low-impact design. The construction of each identical hut is very simple. It is just an offset steel clad box on a steel platform with a wood deck on top. Unlike a typical mobile home, less than half of the space on each structure is indoor space; outdoor decks comprise 55% of the usable space. While the interiors leave some design issues unsolved, the exteriors are well thought out. They are built of simple, durable and no-maintenance materials – steel, plywood and car-decking. No effort is made to soften this reality. The steel exterior is just allowed to rust naturally. The huts are “grouped as a herd” while each faces a view of the mountains (and away from the other structures), they are also gathered together as a unit.

POPSNeil Cavuto Tells Glenn Beck He's Scaring People FTA: Cavuto: No, no, no. I am a realist and I look at it -- No, no no no. You are scaring people. And here's what you're doing -- Beck: I'm not scaring! I am letting them -- Cavuto: I am a big enough appreciator of history to know that we always get through these things. Now the government cannot -- Beck: And I believe that too. Cavuto: Then why are you doing this stuff in 2014 we'll all be eating lead? Beck: Because when the market hit 14,000 I said, 'Get the hell out of the market!' And when -- Cavuto: You, you will say -- people watch you in droves. Your ratings are through the roof. You're radio rock star. So everything you say, when you say it, they're gonna say, 'Gee, well, Glenn just said, you know, we're all gonna be dead.' ... I just think that you're scaring people. I love you dearly, because you are a rock star. I'm just saying, I look at it, I watch it in my office as I'm getting ready for my Fox Business

POPSCould YOU live in a Yurt? We talk all the time about living with less; Dave lives in 706 square feet with off grid power, a composting toilet, a shower and a full kitchen and didn't give anything up at all to live in comfort and style. When you live in 706 square feet you don't need much to run it; he collects water from his roof, power from the sun and wind, heat from sustainably cut wood. He spends about six hundred bucks a year for his propane barbeque, gas for his chainsaw and log splitter and that is about it. He appears to enjoy it, imagine if more of us lived this way.
