Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity's first 3D-printed home in the US | CNN

Christmas came early for one Virginia family that just received the keys to their new 3D-printed home.

First 3D house built in the US. I wish the article had been more informative. Plus, I would’ve liked to have seen more pictures.

I was talking with a fellow feeder driver, overnight as we drove down the road(cell phones). BTW, a great way to pass the time!

He made an observation/suggestion that solved my problem. We both have Harley's and they share a lot of commonalities/problems. He suggested something I hadn't thought of and led to a solution. Bravo!
