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

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???

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?

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.

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.

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
