So, since this thread is totally about homes now , just curious....who's got the biggest home and lot on this forum?? I know it's NOT me, but just wondering...

I have a little over an acre, but I also have square footage comparable to Randall. I love my little acreage that still has trees, wild birds at times, and rabbits..etc.. When the nieces and nephews drop by they can easily go camping and I don't have to worry about where they are. Plus, I do like having the space between the homes as Randall was talking about.

Anyway, it sure looks like TriGem's folks, Boggtown and Grizzly's place are up there....and I know that one of the folks out there has an approximate 6-8 car garage...pretty sweet!!

BTW, TriGem....don't you get lost in there? How do you guys communicate at home??...via intercom??? Very nice!!

Cmon man, TriGem could put my house in his garage and still have room for the Porsche. I'm at 4,600 sq ft and the lot is only about 1/3 acre. It's hard to find good sized waterfront or waterview property on this side of the bridge. They line the homes up like dominos. Then there are strict impervious surface restrictions in the Critical Bay Area.

Hey Grizz,
...LOL, looks bigger than that! Anyway, still very nice!! Did you do all the work yourself?? Or were you required by the insurance company to use their guys.

BTW, I recall you did the work in your pool table room (at least, I think that was you).......that was real nice too!

I used contractors for most of the work, mainly because I don't have the time to do it myself. If my wife waited for me to rebuild, we'd still be sleeping in mud. We've decided to take the two decks off the back and build a sunroom on the first floor with a deck on the roof of it. I'll probably do that myself. We also want to build a large cuppola in the center of the second story, with a spiral staircase from the second floor family room. I'll need an architect and a good contractor for that one.

The pool room wasn't me. There have been a couple of guys' pool rooms on the board. Super66 comes to mind. If you really want to see something outrageous, check out the kitchen that Urotrash built from scratch. I think the post is titled something about his summer vacation. Unreal.

dcporsche99 - We don't really get lost....anymore. When we first moved in the house felt HUGE! The pervious home we lived in was 2300sqf so a jump of 8000sqf just felt insane. After almost 7 years in this house it feels normal. Oh and I don't know about anyone else on the board but those NuTone intercom systems are worthless, we have never used it.

CJ - It is 2 stories, the ground floor is just over 5400sqf that includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 2nd floor is all bedrooms and bathrooms and a laundry room.


Randall - How are those diffusers coming along?

i think the issue with the NuTone intercom system at our place was that it was so old that the buttons that make the microphone connection would get dirty and cause LOTS of static!
