I Dig the Big Dig House

Located in the posh and historic Boston suburb of Lexington, this house was made almost entirely of recycled materials from the largest construction and engineering job in the history of mankind, also known as "the Big Dig."

It's Ovah!

If you didn't live in Boston at some time during the Big Dig, then you will not appreciate the fact that it will officially be complete as 2007 ends. When I was in college from '98-'02, I thought I would never see it happen. Hmm, I guess I didn't. I moved out of Boston in November of 2004.

This is pretty awesome -

"A study by the Turnpike Authority found the Big Dig cut the average trip through Boston from 19.5 minutes to 2.8 minutes."

Here's a great article on the history of the project from The Christian Science Monitor.
