Look like a shower? An execution chamber? No. It's a closet.

But no ordinary closet! It's a Self-Cleaning Closet! (Duh!) See the Mason jar? That's where the detergent goes. You just hang up your clothes, and they wash & drip-dry.

Of course, this doesn't work, either. The reasons for the non-functional state of the Self-Cleaning House are unclear. Frances says that a powerful man is keeping people from building Self-Cleaning Houses. Not sure, but he might be the same guy who buys up all those inventions that make free fuel from tap water.

Frances regales us with hymns on her antique pedal organ. That was my favorite part of the tour.
The I-shaped windows might suggest a lack of humility. Well, ok, Frances does toot her horn pretty loudly. But somebody's gotta do it!

Max:

Frances is totally fascinating, and completely wacked, she has some good ideas but they are always a little off, she also is a bit paranoid and thinks someone is after her - hence why she’s not a millionaire, someone is talking shit about her (not her exact words), oh and the best - Bill Gates offered her money, I think she took it, all her stories kinda went off in some other direction.
My favorite was her feigned indignation at being worshiped. She asked us, "Are any of you religious?" That was the setup for: "Well, one woman said to me, `Frances, you can do anything! you must be GOD.'"

Sure. But I'll bet god could make a showerhead work.
