This snippet comes from a line in the sides where Booth says to Brennan, "So what you're saying here is that something that seems worthless can be turned into something pretty valuable?" And Brennan answers, "Are you talking about putrefied urine or mighty huts?" David Boreanaz has said that BB end up living somewhere unconventional, and well I put that together with those lines and came up with this. :)

"Yep, but it's our hut," Booth grinned from ear to ear.
"You're happy with this?" Cam seemed concerned, there was no way Booth would enjoy living in something like this.
"If she's happy then I'm happy Cam. This is how the something, something tribe lives in the Pacific."
Brennan had just grabbed another bag out of their trunk and caught the end of their conversation, "It's a take off of a Nipa hut. Or a bahay kubo if you'd rather. They were the typical dwellings of the indigenous peoples of the Phillipines," Booth took a break in her speech as an opportunity to take the bag from her and head towards the house. "The hut represents the Filipino value of "bayanihan." She smiled, continuing to talk, unconcerned that Booth had walked away from them.
"What's that?" Cam was intrigued by how happy this house had made Brennan. After the events of the last several years, it was nice to see the anthropologist excited.
"It's the spirit of unity or a communal effort to reach a goal."
"This seems really important to you Dr. Brennan."
"Booth and I have been looking for a home together for months now. Due to the discrepancies in our incomes and a Alpha male desire for Booth to contribute as much toward the expense as I do, it proved to be difficult. But, this is perfect."
"A hut is the perfect solution for the two of you?"
"A few years ago, Booth asked me if I would be his village," off Cam's confused look, she elaborated, "He stated that raising a child took a village, and asked for my help with Parker. Booth has a strong belief that it takes a group, or communal effort to raise a child. Therefore, when I saw this listing in the newspaper, I knew it was a sign."
"A sign that you and Booth need to live in a hut, on stilts, near the backwaters of the Potomac?"
"Yes. And it was well within the budget that Booth set for us."
"Because it's a hut."
"It's a hut with modern amenities Cam."
"So, you have running water and indoor toilets then?" Cam was almost afraid to ask.
Booth came jogging back from the front door of the hut and rejoined the women.
"She's worried that we don't have bathrooms Booth," Brennan was confused by Cam's questions.
"We have four of those Cam. Along with five bedrooms, an entertainment room complete with a 103 inch plasma screen, a restaurant style gallery kitchen, a hot tub, and there's a swimming pool around the back."
"Really?"
"Looks can be deceiving Dr. Saroyan."
"Obviously."
"This house allows us to have everything we need. If you had all these features in a traditional American home, the price would be well out of the price range that Booth insisted upon. This home however, due to it's unconventional outside appearance and watery location, is much cheaper."
"And it's just kinda cool when you really think about it," Booth added.
"You're just excited about the television."
"And the swively seats that are in front of the television. Parker spun around on those things for hours last night."
"Parker spun around for fifteen minutes, you spun around for a couple of hours. Then you threw up."
Cam laughed and Booth attempted to change the subject, "Come on Cam, we'll show you around."
