SUMMARY
A California woman, Francie Rehwald, is constructing a house using parts from a 747 Jumbo jet, including the wing as a roof and the nose as a meditation temple. The project, which will begin in June, involves purchasing airplane components for approximately $100,000, with total construction costs expected to reach several million dollars. The house aims to be eco-friendly and visually appealing, situated on a hillside in Malibu with extensive ocean views. The FAA has mandated that visible airplane parts be clearly marked to avoid confusion with a crashed aircraft.
