	Way cool - that is what I would like to do here on our mountain.  Lots 
of $$ in our case because of all the blasting that would have to be done 
to establish the hollow in the mountainside.  Mostly sandstone, but also 
lots of red shale - very hard and cannot be cut by dozer.  But if we 
ever do it, I would like to cast a huge concrete structure into the 
mountainside and build the house structure outward from that.  Basically 
a big box with a large root cellar in the mountain itself and the 
greenhouse would be accessible just off the kitchen area.  A semi-earth 
sheltered shop would be another nice thing.
