Seems like a good way to do it.

I'm not an envious person, but this has me greener than her foilage. I got the idea for a similar project many years ago. Even bought land for it. But health and other obstacles have gotten in the way, so now we're selling the land. Still, I'm genuinely happy for her, and that things like this house can exist in the world.
