fer god's sake, don't show my wife or I'll be diggin up the back yard next weekend...
...along that line of thought, don't let SWMBO convince you to build her a house - or your cars will collect dust in the garage for years... 
Looks pretty awesome! It looks fairly rustic, I like the natural looking ceiling beams. I think the houses from the movie looked a bit more refined inside, just underground, but still cool.
Very cool. We are planning on finding some land out of town on the mountain. We are already planning on building a cabin. Might have to make some revisions to the plans.

Just made this mistake, the digging hasn't started yet but I bet she'll have a shovel waiting when I get home. I love the look of the place but I can only imagine the sort of leaking/mildew/ant problems the place would have,

Why were you showing this to ultraclyde's wife, anyway? 
I don't see a garage.
In reply to slantvaliant:
...... or indoor plumbing.
<--- not sure if a compost-crapper in an open living space is desirable - in any way.
