The Sleepers may keep their Festus, Mo. home but it is on eBay (PICS) check this thing out!
http://d.yimg.com/img.news.yahoo.com/util/anysize/400,http%3A%2F%2Fd.yimg.com%2Fa%2Fp%2Fap%2F20090310%2Fcapt.3349b38f25e34895a3947ed5a4dba3b0.cave_home_mojr101.jpg
In this Feb. 26, 2009 file photo, the home of Curt and Deborah Sleeper is seen in Festus, Mo. The eastern Missouri family expects they'll be able to stay in the home built inside a cave after accepting an offer of a private mortgage contract. Curt Sleeper said Tuesday, March 10, 2009 that a New Jersey-based business, Logical Source Inc., offered a 15-year loan with a low interest rate that should allow the family to keep their home.

The entry room is furnished like a normal home in the cave home of Curt and Deborah Sleeper, Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009 in Festus, Mo. The Sleepers have put the house in a cave on eBay as a backup in case they can't meet a large payment due on the property.

5. Someone like me who lives in an area that can get five tornado warnings
in one night. Killer tornadoes struck just east and just west of me last year, and that cave looks really, really good to me.......

8. Probably less expensive to heat in the winter and to cool in the summer.

9. Me! I'd love it.
Cool in summer and warm in winter. It'd be a great place. But, then, I'm an old hippy, so what do I know.

11. This is terrific!
Smart people. I hope they get to keep their home.
