Does soda come in aluminum cans too? I am pretty sure the last one I had came in a bottle. They are still a nickle aren't they? Let me get this straight Crittor, you are saying that you only use the tires on the outside? What do you use on the inside, inner tubes? That's what I usally find on the inside of my tires. Of course if they are tubeless tires, that means you woulnd't have any inner walls. Don't know if I like the idea of my john being out in the open like that. There are times when even us guys need a little privacy. Especially after drinking all that soda. Guess that is why women design houses and us guys design trikes. You know where the tires go on a trike and you don't have to drink all that soda to build one. Now I feel sorrier than ever for Cleon. Not is he going to have a new house with no walls on the inside, he is going to have to wait until all the company leaves to use the bathroom.
Jim, Only the outside walls are done in tires, so that cuts down on your beer consumption. Then you have a bunch of freinds over and you have a bunch of SODA for them to drink and your beer consumption is down even more. Then while your freinds are there you ask them to SAVE their SODA cans for you and once again your beer consumption is down. Anyone drinking as much beer as you suggested would probably be dead before the house even got started. Not necessarily from the beer itself, but if it didn't get him I'm sure his wife would. Quit thinking like the male blonde that you are. If you want anything done right you have to consult a woman. Now they know how to get things done. Right Gals??
Now I see what Cleon's problem is. He has to empty all those aluminum cans as he builds the house. If he has to drink all that beer he may never get the house done. Let me see, a tire is about 8 inches high and a beer can is about 4, so that means it will take about 4 cases of beer to fill every tire. If a tire is 8 inches high, it will take 240 cases of beer to build a 60 foot wall. A house normally has 4 walls so that means 960 cases of beer to build the 4 exterior walls and that doesn't include the basement, attic or interior walls. No wonder the poor guy is falling down. Maybe you should build the new house out of popsickle sticks. Wonder how many of those it would take. I can see it in the store now, "You want how many thousand cases of popsickles?" Geesh, you would think a blonde was in charge of this project.
Hey Chris - I knew that was a house of tires - I think the question of who the real blondes are has been answered - Jim and Dale get the prize! Maybe they need a couple of blonde wigs for trike week????
Do I have to help you guys with everything? You don't burn the tires, you build your walls with them. They make execellent insulation and then you pack the inside of the tires with aluminum cans or something. The walls are kind of thick, but your heating and cooling bills will be way low.
Poor Cleon is taking a beating over this house thing. I would have snuck over and helped with the digging but I thought maybe Dale would want his tires back. Now if he could design a heating stove that burned old tires, he might have something. How about it Dale, think it has any possibilities?
Actually I thought that looked like Jim - thought maybe he snuck over and did some digging for us! I can't trust my husband do do any digging - he knocks him self down for the count - that's one way to get out of work. Probably a tire pile would make a softer cushion than a pile of shovels.
HEY JIM, THAT LOOKS LIKE CLEON & ROSIES NEW BUILDING SIGHT. THEY WERE SO EXCITED WHEN THEY FOUND THOSE TIRES WHILE DIGGING THERE BASEMENT. I HEARD THEY WERE GOING TO START A HOME TIRE BUSINESS. THEY'RE THINKING IF THEY KEEP DIGGING THEY MIGHT FIND A TIRE MACHINE, WHO KNOWS MAYBE EVEN A TIRE BALANCER. I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BUY MY TIRES FROM THEM.
