Redneck is quaint in a special sort of way, doncha think?
It's something I've been thinking about since I discovered Second Empire plans nail what I would do, given a budget. ROFL!!.. Actually yes.. I find the Washington Monument inspiring!..
ROFLMAO!!
Damn.....wanted to add, ....'though not some gaudy trailer monument like the clinton library---that is really tacky.'
Spooky carved redneck is better than pressboard hillbilly.

You ever see "Billy Jack Goes to Washington"? It has some excellent filmage of DC, along with some Ey-Number-One Billy Jack silliness.

It's been years.. it wasnt too memoriable I'm afraid.. a tad too hokey for me.. but hokey can be amusing..
Hokey? I like Ed Wood movies. Nothing is hokey, damnit!

I like structures with big balconies and dark, warm, inviting cellars. Like a big back lot, too.

I like those cedar and rock houses with lots of windows built in the middle of the woods. If I had tons of money I'd build one of those and stick it in the middle of the 2000 acres I would buy.
That almosts sounds suggestive, but I know you mean Queen Anne :)

I like those too, although it would be more work than I'm willing or able to do to propriete a house like that.

Now Ed Wood isnt hokey...it's quirky!! I loved Johnny Depp in Ed Wood.. !
Too funny!
I rented that but couldn't get interested in it. Depp is like a acting teacher showing you Ed Wood. The real Ed Wood was like a drum majorette passed out next to you with a whistle stuck down her throat.

Being from/in California, I kinda like the concept of the geodesic or monolithic dome. The Monolithic Dome is a permanent structure which is energy efficient, cost effective, disaster resistant and attractive. Monolithic Domes have real strength. They can withstand the force of a tornado, hurricane or earthquake. They cannot burn, rot or be eaten by bugs. The Monolithic Dome is energy efficient. It will usually save fifty percent on heating and cooling costs compared to a comparable conventional building. Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction. ~George W. Bush
LOL!! Great description.. Youre right it was a tad contrived.. but then again I'm a Depp fan..
you're naughty! :P

Are they made of wood?

Are they made of wood? No... The Monolithic Dome is a super-insulated, steel reinforced concrete structure used for homes, schools, gymnasiums, bulk storage facilities, churches, offices, and many other uses. Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction. ~George W. Bush
It has a tower, I like that, but I'd need more wrought-iron spikes if I was going to spend that much money on a house.

[with Eddie Haskell look]...but I know what I like....! ;)

Now that was just ugly. Square walls on a dome gives me flu-like symptoms.

Now that is cool! It looks like a big gun turret.

"On a slightly foggy day, the house just about disappears, which is what we wanted." The Stitts achieved that effect by choosing just the right shade of blue paint for the outside of their Airform.

Wow! Time just stood still there. That's a beauty. Not here: Or the survivalist: Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction. ~George W. Bush
Wouldn't my Bugatti look nice in the drive for a picture of me whipping the servants?

That's one looks haunted. Bugatti? Up in Grass Valley, CA there are a lot of old "painted ladies".

New Orleans had a lot of places you might have liked.

We watched this stunning chapel being built as we traveled to Taos over the years. From what I understand, most of the Labor was donated, and the view of it from the Rio Grande valley is surreal. The Stations of the Cross bronze sculptures on the trail up to the chapel are soul moving (and a good running trail to blow off the long drive). San Luis Colorado (the oldest town in Co)- if you go there you are making a mistake by not seeing the profound chapel built there. Stunning in it's old world simplicity and the views are..............
Looks like a very quiet and peaceful place.

tom ..that is gorgeous..and pictures never do justice to what it's like in reality.. I've never been to Taos .. some place I'd like to see one day..
that is stunning.

Well, to me this "suggests" Norman Bates, and messy shower stalls. "Better a 'Bush-hater' than a Bush fellater"---Monica Lewinsky to Michelle Malkin [imagined retort]
Yeah, it's spooky alright. I really do like Queen Anne style, though: Thanks for Prohibition and the war against drugs. Thanks for a country where nobody's allowed to mind their own business.

You whip the servants? Cool.
Only when they sing off key.
