The Beer Can House - Houston, Texas

I've seen many photos of this famous beer can house in Houston, Texas but nothing really prepared me both the ordinariness of the neighborhood (suburb-ish) and also the sound. Those streamers hanging from the eaves are actually the bottoms of beer cans strung together, and they rattle and jingle in the breeze. Everything is made of beer cans, including the roof but with the exception of the driveway which is concrete with embedded marbles. Houston wasn't exactly my type of place but seeing this house was worth the drive through. Click on the photo to see more details - like the ladder going to heaven.
