Looks ready for 10 gallons of gas and a road flare, that should remove the hideous blemish from the hillside rather effectively.
To make a long story short...kill it with fire.

Bet it leaks like a sieve. And if it doesn't yet, I bet finding and fixing the problem will be costly at the least. High upkeep. I remember trying to keep a boat deck varnished.

Did anyone check out any of the links to other houses. They are to the left of the article.
Even MORE interesting!

That site always has some 'interesting' views on new stuff. I think the people who write that site are always tripping on acid, myself.
