      It is amazing what you can see while driving around the country. I have seen couches by the roadside in at least twenty states. In California, CalTrans furnished a three bedroom house, complete with working appliances, of what their crews picked up off the highways and freeways.

      This project is very, very cool. I love the beauty of decay, of things falling apart. :)
