Whoa... that is one heck of a nurse.
Ok I am so excited. A friend of mine is having a party tomorrow night... in her new house... that is 15,000 square feet. She would not let us see it until it is done... and now it is done. Can you imagine what it looks like on the inside? I mean we can put my house in her house about 8 times.
15,000 square feet... where do you even begin cleaning that sucker??
Wow, I kind of like that naughty nurse!!
15,000 square feet!! OMG that is HARUGE!!
I could get lost in there.
I wish I looked like that naughty nurse, she is hotttt!! I think I am going to go buy that outfit and the shoes, my husband would probably faint! Ha Ha I had a friend with a house that big, it felt like a huge museum. IT was magnificent but it never felt homey.Ya know what I mean? What kind of housewarming present do you get for that house? A gift card for Tiffany's crystal? LOL I am guessing plates from JCpenneys won't be sufficient. I am sure the party will be a blat! Have lots of fun and enjoy your friend's happiness in her mansion!
I was going to get them an assortment of balls for their gym that is in the basement. Somehow the gift certificate to Target does not seem sufficient.
I will take pics and post them here if I can.
A gym in the basement? Wow, your gift sounds like a grand idea!!
We would love to see some pics of that house.
My uncle has a house that is a bit bigger than that, 20,000 I think, and there are only 2 of them living in it. He is an attorney and his wife is a doctor. But they don't have anything as fabulous as a gym.
I did get lost in their house first time I visited!
Please, please post some pics!!
My in-laws have a house that is about 11,000 square feet.
Depending on what you do with the house, it can be really homey--theirs is. They just have huge rooms for things like the library, the sewing room (a quilting machine takes up a LOT of room), and the play area for kids. The rest of the house is pretty normal, if a little bigger than you or I would have. They have a HUGE family, they live on the lake, and usually have someone staying with them, which is why they have 5 bedrooms in addition to their own.
This is her third home. She has one on the lake, which is about 8000 square feet and VERY homey, she has one in the city for her husband when he travels, and now this one. I think it will be homey, her personality leads me to believe that... and plus all of her other houses were that way. Did I mention that they only will live there from October to May?
Oh well. I am happy with my little cape cod. Plus, cleaning it is not so bad... but of course since I don't have kids yet it does not get too bad.
Oh and to go along with the earlier conversation... has anyone heard of a drink called the cement mixer or the jolly rancher?
Wine & Spirit Education Trust
I just found out that I passed my test for Wine and Spirit Education- Intermediate level.
My mom and I took it together... we are wine and spirit experts now!! We are applying to be mother/daughter tasters for a winery near her cottage at the lake. I can't wait!
Love the jolly rancher, never heard of the other one. Yes, I didn't mean that they couldn't be homey, this one was just very perfect and museum like. YOu wouldn't even know that kids lived there. She also had two cleaning ladies, every day. Yeah so she was on the extreme side of things. Sounds like your friend is more down to earth. Although I think I would feel a little guilty having so much that you don't even use all the time, when sooo many people having nothing. I would probably have families come stay there while I was gone or something. OH well, different strokes for different folks. AS long as she is happy!!
Man, that makes my little 2100 square foot place look pewny... My sister just built her a big house... close to 10,000 sf I think... I get lost there.
I like the naughty nurse... although it reminds me of the nurses in Silent Hill a little... which kind of scares me a little...
Shattered-
I think you hit the nail on the head... To each his own. I know personally I could not live in a house that big. I think it would actually stress me out. But, she seems happy so more power to her.
Actually most aspects of her life would stress me out... so I guess I am happy just being me... Rock on with that I guess
I have four kids and we have a 1900 sq ft home, dang, I don't know about cleaning anything bigger. Sure would like to have a sewing room, I could definitely use a exercise room (I would never actually use it) like the gazelle in the barn that I just had to have, give me a break half a week and clothes were soon to be hanging on it. No big house for me. I bet it is spectacular though! Morning!
I have learned that jealousy and envy get you nowhere. I have learned to be happy for those that have more than me, and appreciative of the things I have that others don't. There is a lot of stress with accumulating possessions or wealth. When is it ever enough. I too love nice things, but to be so attached to a lifestyle, must be consuming and exhausting at times. I am thankful to be me too. Start, you and me have the same size house too, what is up with us?? I am sure yours is cleaner. But on happy note, my clothes smell soooo good this morning. I thought of you immediately. I am so glad when I remember to use fabric softener. Happy morning to all...
I agree with you Shatter.
Plus it is fun to see how the other 1/2 lives.
It is supposed to be so nice today here... so I decided that I am airing out my comforter and hanging my sheets out to dry... I love doing that!!
Ohhh you guys are making me happy, I love clean laundry, my secret is to love the dirty laundry cause once it is done... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmI love clean laundry!
Can you come and do ours, pretty pretty please we have a surprise for you but Proud wants to tell you herself later. Lloll
I really wish that 1. I had a house and 2. that there wasn't a city ordinance against clothes lines. I really miss hanging laundry out to dry.
Wow, that is weird. You can't hang your clothes? In my laundry room I have 12 antique washboards hanging, just to remind me how good I got it now!!
Well, first off, I live in an apartment, and most apartments have rules against that, even on your deck.
Also, most large cities have ordinances against clothes lines, because they're a potential danger to law enforcement and emergency workers. They don't want a chase in your back yard to end up with a policeman running into your clothes line, and they don't want firefighters to have to dodge it in that sort of emergency.
I understand the reasoning, but it still sucks

This is my former neighbor's home. The main house is 10,000 sq ft and the carriage house is 3000. It is an industrial magnate's former abode and my former neighbor, Mickey, has spent a mint in getting it restored. It has a shuffleboard court in the basement, a dome believed to be made of Tiffany glass (they resist getting it authenticated because a homeowner in PA had his appraised at somewhere near 3 million and then the tax assessor came down like a ton of bricks!). It has seven claw footed bottom fill tubs (none of which were working when he moved in - the previous owner used one as a litter box and it along with about 20 ft of plumbing were filled with cat litter.) It is really pretty on the inside and Mickey owns an antique reproduction business - so it is decorated with periodesque pieces. His mother comes over every Christmas and puts up 7 Chritmas trees. It is up for sale if anyone is interested!

We were suduced by the square footage of this monster that is to the immediate left of the mansion. Sure, she looks all sweet and homey - but if you turn your ear to the east late at night, you will hear a sucking sound. That is the beast - she is always hungry. We bailed when the estimate for replacing the roof came in at $70,000. Word to the wise - never buy a historic fixer-upper. Everything has to be special ordered and you have to get the blessing of the Historical Society before you can blink.
I took these pictures after a rare snow in our area.
They are both absolutely beautiful. I love antiques, old houses, quilts, anything old. Even your guys' granny I love
EDIT:::::::CBW I am great now that yesterday my grumpy butt is gone!
Its so weird those houses are just made of wood aren't they how the hell do they stay up?
WOW! Now that's a house. They sure don't make them like they used to. I am sure you love your house too, sounds and all. Thanks for the pictures, I will be daydreaming all day. Plus its been awhile since I've seen snow. Not much of that in sunny South Florida. Or dreadfully hot you could say!!
You are too funny. CBW houses like that are a hundred years old and they are made of wood.Quote:

In the midwest, anyway, trees are way more plentiful than rocks or clay.
It was a lot easier to build with wood than stone, especially 100 years ago. My parents' old house (the one I grew up in) was all wood too... and was 200 years old.
The mansion is mostly bricks. The wood in my house was so old it was like it was petrified. You couldn't just hammer into a stud!
When Hurrican Hugo when through Charleston, the only houses standing down at the battery were the old ones. They knew how to make them a hundred years ago. Now, they just throw them together.
Wow, what a house synnen. Are you talking about TY again CBW??
Our historic home are mostly brick... they are the best houses if you can afford to fix them up. Out Historical society requires they use all the old materials. So if they knock out a section, they have to use the origianal brick to put it back up... But they are so beautiful inside... we have a lot of haunted houses here in our Historic squares.
Joe has a secret now? Hmmm...
I'm sitting in for another emplyee who is on vacation today, so I can't talk as much. No cube... lol.
