Tennessee Pot Cave

I know this is an old topic, but I wanted to see if there was anyone out there that was as amused by the engineering that was put into the building and designing of this home and cave. I have spent numerous hours the last few days researching and reading everything I can find about the Tennessee pot cave.

Is there anyone else out there as interested in this thing as I'm?

Has anyone kept up on this story, since the home burned down, and Fred went to jail?

I would like to talk with some people that have put some time into researching this, or maybe visited the property.

OK, I just looked at that place and it is FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!!

That has got to be one of the craziest things I have ever seen, if only the guy did not STEAL $61,000 worth of electricity then he would have been OK.

Went to all that trouble and still relied on ALL of the power to come from an outside source? The guy should have purchased an industrial generator or something. Maybe some small generators at least to not make such a HUGE inprint on the local power supply.

Got Greedy!

Something because that place is a Fortress and there is no way anyone would believe all that energy is being used at that little house!

It's obvious the guy spent a fortune on that place and then relies on the power company?

WTF?

i thought I heard that someone bought it, cave and all. Also I was watching the diy channel and they were showing off diferent doors to install and they had a bookcase door, looks like a bookcase. That is a norm. Cool.

That door the cave had was huge, that was "war games" huge.

I've often thought of the feasability of collecting sunlight with some type of reflector that could redirect the light down a 12"-18" dia super-reflective tube while tracking the sun all day. Just a short distance, say 10-30' deep to a diffuser of some kind.
The trick would be tracking the sun and amplifying what was goin down the tube.
