Re: Has Anyone Seen This House.


Its hard to say if it is real, looking at a picture from the internet. For all practical purposes no one would want a driveway this steep. It does make for interesting conversation.
Where did these pics come from Able1? Getting some background might help.

Nothing like high-centering your vehicle just getting into the garage.

Wow, hard to imagine how that will ever work out. I suppose on the plus side, the HO need not worry about a torrential downpour flooding the garage.

Re: Has Anyone Seen This House.


I got one for you (besides The house 50 cents lives in)
Check this out.

http://www.wealth-prosperity.info/2007/09/isnt-it-ok-for-arnold-chase-to-build.html


Now Zoom in on the House
http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&cp=44.023938~-99.71&style=h&lvl=4&tilt=-89.875918865193&dir=0&alt=7689462.6842358

Then rotate on the left side (looks like a 3/4 circle with arrow)

This shows the different times during construction.

I have a few friends that worked on this house - In the Garage there is a lift to bring you under ground.

40' under ground Level 5 Bio/Nuke Basement - if you look at the house on the East side is a Hall way that has a entrance prob 150' away from the house

My Firefox browser is not able to open the link. I'd like to see that, sounds pretty interesting.

Re: Has Anyone Seen This House.


Okay, I copied and pasted your link Snobnd and that worked.

The house is unbelievable.

But what irks me is why would anyone have a problem with this man building his dream home. Sure its lavish and ginormous, but its his money to do with as he wishes. Why in the world anyone seems to feel that he isn't being reasonable in building such a home when there are the improvised/homeless folks who need help, is beyond my ability to comprehend. Not saying that helping those in need isn't a noble and worthy cause, but this man made his fortune by taking the risks and succeeding in his chosen profession. He (or anyone else for that matter) should not be subjected to anyone else attempting to dictate how lavish of a home he should, or should not, build.

Simply amazing.
