Au cointreau, found him interesting from the start. Easy listening to a guy who knows his chit like that. Does this spell the end of the plumbers' bum-crack on construction sites? We can only hope.    :laugh:

Brilliant. I had read about this building technique / theory some time back in the context of autonomous robots on the moon / mars. So cool, hey why not house the poor here on Earth too?
