Couple Trys To Sell Cave Home On Ebay

Sleeper Family Cave Home near St. Louis, Missouri
Unusual Real Estate
The Sleeper family built their cave home on three acres of land in Festus, Missouri, near St. Louis in 2004. Although still not completed, they have their cool pad up for sale on ebay. The couple built the three bedroom home inside the cave once used for mining after they saw it on the internet. I think this really qualifies for an eco friendly title. This cave probably keeps the family naturally cool in the summer, but I do not know what the temperatures are like in winter.
I question why they are trying to sell it so quickly it looks like they have not even completed the renovations. I don't know if this is because of financial reasons or because living in a cave sucks. I guess the next owners will find out quick. And the rest of us will find out if they too try to sell quickly.

FOUND! British Couple Lost At Sea 40 Days

The couple, Stuart Armstrong and Andrea Davison, stared death in the face after the rudder of their boat became stuck after just six days into a journey from Africa to Antigua. After 16 days they lost power.

At first they did not worry because they had notified both the British and American authorities and they had plenty of rations, but as time passed and their power went out, they could no longer convert sea water to drinking water. Both British and American authorities refused to help because of their remote location.

They just kept drifting helplessly towards the Caribbean (that was lucky). They were finally rescued after 40 days a drift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
