I think it is ever so special that they thoughtfully placed the
excavated material right next to the building directing rainwater
runoff right to the foundation. Very efficient! ;)

Unless I've lost it and am in another reality, it looks like Google's
stretching itself pretty thin, like China: My yesterday's post via
Google Groups used an old nickname.

Anyway, ugly, cookie-cutter highrise ghettos as far as my eye could
see all too often. You can't have too many fall down (without people
in them of course).
The China I saw was like... like a wretched Communist-Capitalist
Eraserhead-type child.
Notice the abundant greenery and trees.
What concerns me also is that the Chinese expats here agree with my
contentions about the country.
You see a lot of (former?) "third-world" rich immigrants that seem to
be embracing a lifestyle-dream that we're trying to change out of.

...So when does Google buy into the brick-and-mortar, or are they way
ahead of me? Shall I look forward to a lifetime of floppy rabbit-hutch
rentals?

Ken: Could you steer me to a pic of your 20x20 please? TIA.

Thanks Ken. My interest is in part with the idea that just about
anyone could, and maybe should, build their own house, or at least
have a general knowledge of how.
We've become much of a society that can't do anything "real" or "old
world" for ourselves, and that's potentially dangerous.

Pussy chores make me feel like the man I am.

Agreed, go for it.
Don't let the *general knowedge* part slow you down.

Nah, no more so than say, riding rollerblades down an escalator.
An idea, a little bit of logic, a decent array of tools and enough
materials and anyone can construct a shelter.
I'm living proof of it.

Yes, if our women-- our other halves-- are our feminine sides. ;)
