How do you hang a picture? Kind of like a -frames...

Nothing to it, really. If you keep the house spinning fast enough.

Continuous revolution would be the real challenge.

Rotating restaurants-in-the-sky seem to have the technology, though.

[Clay Moore]

BTW when did you get your own parking lot?

[Erasmus]

Rotating plumbing and electrical fittings are not particularly unusual.

The great trick is to get them all concentric about the same axis--water, wastewater, power, gas, maybe telecom.

Telecom could I guess be left out by using wifi on the ground under the house or somewhere else nearby.

Inefficient and a waste of space

After watching the video, the place is really cool and all the space was well utilized........

He left all of his money
To Spooner his old hound
Growing old on steak and bacon
In a doghouse ten feet round

Ah, old poetry from Jimmy Buffet... Thanks, Parrothead!

Tornados destroy structures by reducing the atmospheric pressure outside, thus the air inside expanding outward explodes the house. Doesn’t matter what its shape is.

[editor-surveyor]

Wastewater flows into a closed concentric channel, and electric requires only the mains to flow through slip rings that wrap around the water main, which needs a very conventional lip seal.

You may be correct, I am from California so actually have no frame of reference except those who pitch the dome home.

LOL; the "Jetson's" refashioned. . .

Don't know about a 'rolling house'; but walking, running; inside a ball; might be safest option to outdoor exercising or just getting to store; someday - soon. . .

A 'security ball', perhaps?

Whatever; perhaps, in some fashion; we will all be, "rollin; rollin". ..could make running on the beach interesting. Why should hampsters have all the fun?
