You are not allowed to take pictures inside the house, so I don't have any. It IS fabulous though.

Dang this thread sure turned into a bunch of Wheaties and piss.

I think it's pretty neat.

Yeah I GOT it. I thought this place was the "house of mold" but THAT place the battle is constant.

Speed racers: I have a group of toy Porsches of different colors. I love the design and I love the idea of going fast. I also have three real Porsches, two in Paris and one in New York. My mother-in-law used to say that for me they were both the mistress and the psychiatrist.

Since he was a boy, John Carson, a New York City builder and real estate developer, dreamed of building a house around a giant stone. He and his wife, Sharon Slowik, estimate that they looked at 75 properties before finding this one in Margaretville, N.Y. At left, the boulder in its pre-construction surroundings.

Throughout my life I have dreamed of many things. But never have I thought, "it would be cool to have a house with a big rock in the living room".

I get the funny comments and jokes, and admit the house is not all that much to my liking. And the rock in the house is not such a original idea, seen samples published several times over the years.

It's a house.

I like it but my kids would probably try to paint it orange and put a face on it at halloween.

This!

In other words, that rock is a phallus.
