Interesting. I wonder how they sealed up the wall with the rock in it.

pete3799 11-19-2009 01:14 PM

Wish i had a really big rock in my livingroom........NOT!

Racerbvd 11-19-2009 01:16 PM

Now that is COOLISTIC!!!! Story behind this???

cgarr 11-19-2009 01:28 PM

Is it a meteor?

NineOhOne 11-19-2009 01:40 PM

I'll bet that's a beyotch to dust.

imcarthur 11-19-2009 01:42 PM

Needs some moss & spiders to liven it up.

I'll bet the owner stubs his toe on it at least once a week...

targa911S 11-19-2009 01:53 PM

I'll bet the chipmunks living under that rock are pissed!

Who are you? Aren't you one of those guys that likes to preserve nature, lessen green house gasses, and favors the "quit screwing with the environment" movement? Then you post something like this???:confused:

Naturally, I can only gather that you like this or you would have posted your normal "environmental" slant. Jebus man, how can a "green" ideology support this kind of monstrosity?

:D

Joeaksa 11-19-2009 02:32 PM

Wow! Part like it and part "how in the world would you clean it" but sure is interesting!

Joeaksa 11-19-2009 02:38 PM

The "rest of the story" so to speak...

do you not like it or what?

Very Nice!! It looks a bit like Frank LLoyd Wrights' "Fallingwater" in PA without the water.

Best,
Tom

Being rich has its own rewards, you wanna blow it on a house with a big glacial erratic in the middle, you can. Those rocks are very common throughout the Catskills and the Adirondacks, but that's the first one I have seen in a house. Very cool, imho.

porsche4life 11-19-2009 03:26 PM

I'd live there.... Sorta reminds me of the house in Twilight and the house that "Shark" lived in.

It looks nothing like FLW's Falling water. have you ever been there? This just looks like a mid century modern house with a rock in it by comparison. FLW just rolled over in his grave because of your remark.

you aren't showing any of the waterfalls INSIDE the house!

mossguy 11-19-2009 03:53 PM

Targa 911S: Let me rephrase my remark. It reminds me of Fallingwater, because of the rock in the living room.

I didn't mean to upset you so badly. Sorry. ( and no offense to FLW, either).

Best,
Tom
