I've been reading the replies but haven't seen
anything about "insulated" or "refrigerated" ...
as for the roof "weakness", since the rest of the
thing seems to be steel plate, why not just
weld on a "top" the same way ? 

The berming idea has become very appealing
to me - now I envision this 'contraption' set
into a nice slope with a 'green roof' - invisible
from the air and from at least three sides ....

With plenty of (draped to exclude when desired)
mirrors inside to reflect natural light and a
radiantly heated slab (wood-fired boiler ?) out 
front with openings for plantings and a 
horizontally telescoping arbor over it in mild-
winter zones one could even have citrus 
outside the front door - although additional
panels might be necessary, along the lines of 
Japan's shoji doors, made of ?plexiglas? for 
protection from prevailing winds ...

Can anybody recommenced an OBDII reader? Features to look for or watch to
see if it's not there?

I was out yesterday just browsing and down at the parts store a reader was
$150 and $100 at Walmart.
