In escrow right now, so don’t bother to ask if it’s available.
About 13k sq/ft on Lake Arrowhead, this is the nicest house I’m sure I will ever see. Completely custom built, this house is the very definition of huge. Besides the overall square footage, it took 750 cubic yards of cement to built the foundation. The master bedroom, complete with cedar lined closet and dual-shower/jacuzzi inclosure, is a tad over 1600 sq/ft.
On the main floors (yes, floors), the bar tops were hand built from oak, soaked in the lake for about a week and bent in a custom jig. All of the walls are covered in oak, as are the stairs. The carpet on the floor was custom made for this house. And the rock fireplaces where hand built, using materials found in the area.
The kitchens (yes, kitchens) both have full size Sub-Zero refrigerators with custom built doors. The front kitchen features a huge island with conductive stove (trust me, it’s cool). The back kitchen features Wolf restaurant-grade stove, griddle, grill and convection oven.
All of the rooms are equally impressive, with oak walls, custom built furniture and partial cedar lined closets. Really, it’s very nice.
And built entirely by my Grandfather. He designed it, drew the original plans, supervised every bit of the construction and did quite a lot of the work himself. It’s truly an amazing house.
I have more photos in my flickr stream and will be posting a little bit of video soon as well.
Christmas was pretty uneventful around these parts this year. But there was family stuff and good eats!
Me, doing what I do on Christmas, Thanksgiving and any other large family gathering.
While extremely rare, on occassion, it does snow in Southern California. It also snows in Las Vegas, but I don’t have pictures of that.
I did hear from the ‘rents and read on Twitter that Las Vegas was practically an island yesterday. The airport was closed. Interstate 15 between Stateline and Baker was closed. Interstate 95 was closed at Railroad Pass. If you were in Vegas, you were staying in Vegas.
Anyone else having wackier than normal weather?
Last Storm post for the week, I swear!*
Here are some recent photos I took with the Storm. Did I mention it does black and white?
Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.
*Unless VZ pushes the .76 update out Friday and it’s made of pure awesome.
Don’t forget, you can now view all of my photos either on my Flickr stream or in the photos section of my site.
I was out in Arizona this weekend running cable for a network at Temple Bar Marina on Lake Mead in Arizona and of course I took my camera.
