This one's pretty much right up the street from me, you'd never know it was there from the road. It's pretty cool although some rooms seem a little dark. I'd buy it if I could. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1...56890686_zpid/

anything more is just wasteful.
fact.
eh, the bigger issue is smaller FLW homes don’t fit the way people want to live now and the ones that do - the mansions - are horrifically expensive to maintain.Quote:

Yup. Naushon-esque
Group buy? I just looked at a lot that needs a 700k driveway.
Seems expensive.
Did you get a 2nd quote?
Or just build a parking space at the edge of the lot and with the money left over buy a few Grenadiers to take you the rest of the wayQuote:

The island that time forgot. What a weird place that oozes money and history. Who else can have their own abattoir (no Llamas are slaughtered there). And a private ferry.Quote:

@sorrybro, what do you think about this foundation?
;)
They've got a lot of Portuguese over there, right? That looks like the granaries from there and northern Spain.
Non-seismic zone? Looks great! I like it better than some of the 4x4 post sitting on 12x12 pier block foundations I see in older parts of Seattle.Quote:

That's probably really old, the area is a historic district, the colonists started moving in here by about 1650

fact.
They were all from Colonie NY I'm pretty sure.
So much gross. Some of it is ‘almost’ tasteful, but manages to not be ultimately.
I still like it more than a lot of crap here.
