This feature-laden yet affordable 2/2 home (4/3 with garage attic conversion) combines a two RV garage with translucent Kalwall roof (http://www.kalwall.com/main.htm) and a greenhouse dome to shelter 32 foot [10m] (32FS1PD) and 39 foot [12m] (customized 39CB1PE) Hy-line trailers
(http://www.hylinetrailers.com/photos-a.htm). The weather protection by the 51 foot geodesic Growing Dome (http://www.geodesic-greenhouse-kits.com) allows skylight conversion of the RV roofs for light-filled yet easily shaded and leak-proof interiors, a wood deck for winter "sunroom" living, and an all year Endless Pool (http://www.endlesspools.com/gallery/slideshow.html) and plant growing environment. Yes, this economical RV style Bright Idea Home is endowed with Garden of Eden ambiance! And, just outside the dome, don't miss the Japanese teahouse, and upstairs, the moon-viewing balcony!
