When we were looking for the ideal spot to build the house, I had a perfect spot in mind, about 1000 feet back overlooking a ridge. Perfect, except for 1000 foot driveway and 1000 feet of buried cable and gas line. We "settled" on 250 feet instead.Mcbride said:Plowing the driveway sucks in winter, never again will i have a driveway 1700 feet long.
Sounds like a great place.Mcbride said:Awesome everyone, please keep the pics coming.
It does not matter how big or fancy a place is, or small and cosey, its just nice to see the variety, and so interesting to see them all.
My house is really not very big, or fancy, its just a nice size, and cozy is all.
It looks more drab during the daylight, but at dusk, with the kights on, in the snow the photo came out well.
Some of you have such gorgeous yards to.
Mine is rough, and thats being nice.
I have a small lawn, and a few flowers, but a large vegetable garden.
But its not really what you call landscaped, more just left as nature has it.
Most of the place is just left untouched really.
Many think with a large acreage we have a farm, but in reality its mostly just 320 acres of land left alone, except where the house and shop are, and the kids have some trails they made to ride their dirtbikes on.
The house was unfinished when we bought it, so since i like wood, had it sided in wood, and the interior floors done in mostly wood.
Its called a hybrid home, as it has timbers, but the majority was built using just regular lumber, and much of the interior walls is gyproc, with a couple being wood instead.
The layout inside could be better in areas, but overall its comfortable.
Plowing the driveway sucks in winter, never again will i have a driveway 1700 feet long.

Ja, I didn't really need the wife either but it worked out well.davmor said:Never needed or wanted a big house, neither did the wife.

The answer to your question is "underground mine subsidence".
I did most of the landscaping myself. I also ended up being general contractor on the house before it was finished, as I had to fire my contractor. :coolgrin:
There is a 2-car garage, but I just didn't get it in the picture.
I know, it's too big of a house for me and my 2 cats, but it's "home".

Amazing place!
May I ask what the siding species is.
