Re: Opinion: Questions for the Man with the Big House

easy guys, I don't think that charles' comments were to be taken seriously. in my incredibly humble opinion a house like this is just aching for a few humorous shots, and if mr. chase takes this stuff seriously or anyone else who has a strong interest in building and architecture does then i suggest you sit back, take a load off and pretend that this is the beginning of a four or five day weekend and your popping that beverage of choice while reclining in that lounge chair by the pool that you dream of owning. this is just fun stuff not to be taken seriously. when i heard 50,00 sq ft i wanted to know how many electric golf carts he had or if he drives around on a segway scooter. all extremes are going to have a little fun poked at them, so just relax and and enjoy your beverage by the pool.
