Seattle man Glenn Martin dug himself into a hole to escape overeating and high blood pressure. He placed an old bus inside a 9 by 10 foot pit, sealed it with six inches of sail, and now resides there part time as a low cost, tranquilizer-free health regimen. He weighs 335 pounds, aims to shed 20 more, and follows a vegetarian, low-budget diet. His daily water use is minimal and his income comes from a pension. He fears zoning rules may ban such a home but intends to keep living there while the project proves beneficial.
