Transforming House Goes From Wood To Glass With The Flip Of A Switch (video)

My dream is to one day own a house.  That dream is quickly followed by another dream, which is for that house to contain an aboriteum incased in glass that enables me to virtually sit outside no matter the weather.  The Sliding House is all that and then some.  With the flip of the switch the covering, not the house, slides on railway tracks, powered by electric engines embedded in the structure’s walls to reveal an all glass structure.  Summer, spring, winter or rain you can sit outside and harvest a bountiful crop.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."
