VIDEO: After lugging my equpiment two miles up a dirt road I found Francis Gabe’s Self Cleaning House deep in the Oregon woods. She was gracious enough to invite me in – but once I turned on the camera her story unfolded like something out of a Dean Koontz novel.

I think the woman deserves credit! I mean after all what woman never dreamed of a self cleaning house at least once in her life. I would so pay for something like that in a more updated version. I mean who wouldnt want to independant in old age. who wouldnt want more time with kids or with family or for hobbies.
