‘mmmm’: “I would not wanted to live in this hose…Not cosy….”

Excellent does that mean you won’t be dropping by when I have this built here in Australia. Perfect for Sydney’s light warm > hot & humid weather. Already contacted the architects.

Lemme see – dogs, kids, friends, 1947 Thriftmaster in the drive with a Fiat 500 for good measure plus Doomsday Films & dstruct productions in the bunker… err basement and all the Tankless buried water tanks we can install. Yep – works really well!

This place is stunning for an egalitarian life.

I'm not crazy about white walls (actually I loathe them), but this house is pretty nifty! http://t.co/cCM6FCL4
