The bridges, designed by Parsons Brinckerhoff, utilize Axion’s patented Recycled Structural Composite (“RSC”) a thermoplastic solution consisting of nearly 100% recycled post-consumer and industrial plastic. Initial field test results confirm design criteria requirements.

The new short span bridges extend approximately 40 and 80 feet, respectively. Both bridges are designed to deliver a high-load rating of 130 tons (i.e. 260,000 pounds) which is necessary in order to transport locomotives and freight.

You will never find a more unique hotel than the Costa Verde Boeing 727 Fuselage in Costa Rica. To stay at this unique hotel will cost a mere $300-$350 per day.

It is a refurbished fuselage of a retired Boeing 727 airplane. This retired airframe was salvaged from San Jose and transported piece by piece through the jungle where it was reassembled atop a 50-foot pedestal. Featuring a terrace opening up to the edge of the Costa Verde National Park.


the interior is furnished with handmade teak furniture from Java, and the walls are linked with teak panelling. Luxury touches include two air conditioned rooms with queen-sized beds, private baths, flat screen televisions, and even a secluded river-rock spiral staircase entrance. This is one plane that won’t cramp your style. While you’re there, don’t forget to have dinner at El Avion, a converted C-123 airplane like the ones used in the Iran Contra affair (really)

The De Vrouwe van Stavoren Hotel in the Netherlands salvaged four wine casks from Switzerland and converted them into rooms. Now you can not only fall asleep alongside a good glass of French wine but also inside the cask of good French wine. These cask were once filled with 14,500 liters of Beaujolais wine from French chateau. Now instead of wine they will be holding modest two-person room with standard amenities and even an attached bathroom and sitting room. See more photos after the break

I don’t think this information will become useful if you want to sell your house but if you want to NOT sell then here is some really good information. There are more photos after the jump to give a good example of what your home and yard should look like.


Dirty Dishes
Dirty Dishes – Don’t worry about the dishes in the sink. People will understand you were in a rush to get out the door that morning.

Leave As It Is
Let the buyers fix the hole in the wall and the broken light fixture. Who knows? They may want to choose their own!

Stack of Magazines
Leave out your pictures, magazines, books and knickknacks. You want prospective buyers to feel as if they know you, right?

An installation of a upside down house was done in Trassenheide Germany which was designed by Polish partners Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk.While they did it, it was opened to the public for viewing.

People who went inside the house reported that they felt dizzy and disorientated. Unlike the other upside down house that was mentioned here sometime ago, this house its just upside down on the exterior side but also on the inside. There are pictures of the interior after the jump.
