    So it's not automated? Or is it? It looks like it'd be a pain to use.

    @chrisfox01: I have one named Nelson. His job is to clean my floors and terrorize my bird. He often gets depressed and commits suicide by mounting a shoe, or shutting himself in the laundry room.

    That's a real cool door. But that's a lot of work for an everyday device. It would be cool if it was in a museum or something. In a home, it seems like a huge waste of space, what with the 160 pulleys. God forbid something falls apart and you can't get into the house.

    Remote Scenery... check.
    Beautiful Design... check.
    Breathtaking sunsets and nights... check.
    Air conditioner... Not installed!

    I'd visit for one day, but I couldn't live there.

    The thought of being there is ruined by the thought of trying to sleep in a pool of my own sweat during the hot season.

    @carlos003: 90F during the day and 78F (plus humidity) at night = hot.

    That's just how I roll. I keep the house around 70F-75F when I sleep. And 75F is my upper range in sleep comfort.

    The weather right now is dead on for my sweet spot though!

    @DustyButt™: Summer I set AC at 76 at night and keep the ceiling fans on, but in winter I set it at 62. Hmm, good sleeping in that cool a temp.

    An amazing house in an amazing place. Endless vistas and a hammock. It looks like the ideal romantic getaway. I may lose my Giz card for saying this, but I wouldnt even need a net connection.

    Well for a few days anyway.

    That's really beautiful but without windows I see the inside deteriorating pretty quick. Also, wonder how they keep the pool clean. No mention on if it has running water and what kind of plumbing there is.

    Why have a two master schooner when you can have The Maltese Falcon instead?

    The cross is also very nice subtle imagery.
