Time to plant tomatoes, and the biggest house I've ever built...
Just started a 5800 sq ft McMansion and my tomatoes are ready to plant...
This guy understands, and gave me tomato seeds he smuggled out of Macedonia. Too late to start this year. I asked if he knew the name of them but he doesn't. Said it was the best tasting Red tomato he's ever eaten and they are about a pound each. Here's a pic from the plans for the 5800 sq ft he's building for his daughter.[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170424/29420a26bcc92b9de9fd0d281ed9746c.jpg[/IMG] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Dang, that a big house. I likely couldn't afford the taxes on such a beast. Congrats on getting the contract, it's gotta be pretty lucrative.
And you say this is for his "daughter" and not a little pleasure palace for McDaddy to bring his little wayward nymphs? Just kidding, I am sure it is as you say. |
Must be a crime lord.

That's great Pm, glad you got it! :yes:. 6000 is a good size domicile :lol:. Good to know building is still going on .:). Jimbo |
How long are you projecting until completion? That is a monster.
|
Are the outer walls sloping in from the base? I really like that look. Kind Japonesque, especially with the overhangs.
|
cleaning? that is a lot of vacuuming!

It's kind of Arts & Crafts meets Lodge. I love the Arts & Crafts style, but it would have to have at least 4,000 less square feet and one less floor for me!
Congrats on the contract. |

It's time and material whatever it takes. |

It must be from the angle I took the pic from. Walls are plumb, the pillars out front do slope. |
Frank Lloyd Wright style written all over it. Craftsman interior to match? Lots of quarter sawn oak to find. Quite a project - congratulations on landing that, and a client who understands tomatoes!
Looking forward to a finished shot! :yes: |
