Pimp my drainpipe

'Nuff said, here is the link to the post, and there is one picture to tease the contents of the link.

Enjoy people doing freaky things in public,

Following the link back to the original blog post got me to thinking... The first couple of pictures showing fancy drainpipes which incorporates cool sort-of planters makes me wonder if something along the same lines might actually make a lot of economic sense.

Instead of the ornamental grasses or whatnot that the two pics show, what if a portion of the water was instead funneled to planter boxes outside each window where the inhabitants could grow vegetables?; November 15, 2008 at 12:25 PM

sloping floors to walk barefoot on, thus keeping us connected to our every movement, slightly off-balance, aware. . .
