Being a “builder” never means swinging the hammer. It is describing the architect and/or funder of the construction. No modern “builder” of homes does any actual construction themselves, they just procure the land, organize the contractors and fund the project. The modern ones don’t do the archetucture or engineering either, they contract it.

Agree. I studied this design at one time, the engineer who had to make it work was like, you have to be kidding. I stood for a long time till it was deemed unsafe and was restored around 2003?

Where is it?
 
Well, my sinus problems morphed into something different today.

I called my Doc and I’m not saying I have the “Bug” since I haven’t met the criteria to be tested...but, yeah.

I’m OK, symptoms are mild...just weird. Stranger than I have ever experienced. Kinda like the brief sensation you get after sneezing a bunch of times in a row except they persist all day long.

Keeping a close eye on my wife and daughter. So far, no signs at all.
 
That's a nice house and all but I wouldn't be happy there more than a couple days.

If I hit the lotto I would park a dodge RV with a 440 in the middle of this place and be happy in my remaining days. I would buy it out and close it to the public.
