I'm bored. do this in point form it's easier to read.
If I was building a home, it would have to have a;

- basketball half court in basement
- indoor swimming pool
- bowling lane
- smoking room
- audio room, for recording[instruments] or listening to music.
- obviously a home theatre
- massive aquarium
-
- space in the back for dirt bikes and quads
-
a grow room

- a green house

That, and a great professional kitchen, library, office, formal living room, dining room, family room. I'd like to have a fire place in almost every room. I'd like a gigantic one open through to both the family room and living room which would be laid out back to back.
i also want a completely finished basement, with concealed doors similar to the oval office. i want a giant laundry room with commercial washer and dryer.
i also want a pit in one of my garage bays, about two feet wide and eight or so feet long that I can pull a car over and easily change the oil, etc...
- a green house
yep, got to have a green house, I'd like a room similar to the one open off the biltmore estate. Like a green house open to the rest of the home, if you know what I mean. Maybe off the family room or end of the living room through a giant arch.
I'd also like a four car garage, tudor revival style.

Large indoor aquariums can be nothing but trouble in residential homes.

that's what ive heard, and really i dont get the appeal at all. i'd rather just have a great, maintenance free piece of artwork in its place.

the middle kitchen is really nice. Always wanted a center island in a kitchen

Agree. One alternative is a waterfall, which is much less problematic, but is still very expensive to maintain.

yeah, that could be neat but i think creepy houses that look like theyre off the Harry Potter movie are more my style... ;D

All those places are overwrought,...Understatement has a greater impact...Two examples follow...
Phillip Johnson in Connecticut is the more famous...

This one in illinois has been in the movies...

Understatement speaks more loudly...

If you do it right,...have a plumber put a washing machine bib and drain where the aquarium will be,...it's easier if you do it when the house is built,...there you have a drain for draining the aquarium and a source of water at tap.

Yeah, I actually like those a lot too. I just don't like sync pulse... lol
I know of this really cool one locally, I'm going to try and find pictures!

A garden, perhaps an orchard. 2 car garage. Just make it a farm with some pigs, a few cows, and a couple of horses. I'd like to live where I can completely sustain myself.
-
I wish it was mine, either one...can only admire it from afar...

only trouble time wise. If you're into that kind of thing, it's cool. If you're not ready to spend the time with it, it's a big mistake. Or there is always the option of having someone else come in to maintain it if you've got the money and don't care about the weekly intrusions.
-
a poker room, connected to the smoking room.

Several years ago the business I was in sometimes included some very wealthy residential customers. One home had a room dedicated to turtles and rumor had it that from the air the house was shaped like a turtle.
I only got to see Michael Jordan's house while it was under construction, but the plans were over the top.
This home had gargoyles surrounding it, built into the eaves (hideous IMO). They had a section of the graffiti ridden Berlin Wall shipped over and used as some sort of lawn ornament. Their kid's bedrooms were like small apartments. It also had an indoor basketball court.
Absurd excess ::)

I read on my cousins Facebook page he is building his house and he has a waterslide going from his upstairs master bedroom through two other rooms into his pool. He having some permit issues but said it will be done soon. Can't wait to see what that looks like. I remember as kids he had a trampoline (smaller) built into the ground right next to the pool so we could run and jump on it and then do flips into the pool. That was cool. They also had a huge fish pond filled with giant Koi fish. We used to go in it and try to catch them. They had a few over 6 or 7 pounds easy. Some of them cost over $5000 and that was back in the 60's and 70's.

cool. :D
a fire pole would be cool to. lol :P

you're either the biggest liar the world has ever seen, or youve had the most interesting live of any man in history.

I have had a 125 gallon aquarium for 6 years (also had a 180 before)that with the filtration system I have is almost fully self sufficient...I can count on one hand how many times I have to mess with it in a givin year...If you buy the right setup fish tanks are very easy to maintain...far less hassle than owning a dog...
-
what kind of filtration system?
-
im just wondering what the appeal of fish tanks is?
-
just put in a flat screen monitor with a looping stream of fish?

Thanks for the compliment. look up Carter Pasch on Facebook and read his posts. He is my cousin. Sorry to disappoint you but I guess I must have an ionteresting life. By the way I have not seen or talked to my cousin in about 13 years or more. I also come from a very disfunctional family.
I cut & paste his post on his Facebook page
Carter Pasch Work in work on work under paint this fix that.. its a hands on kind of thing.. but when the work is all done. Its Party Time
Im still working on the water slide that goes through the living room but hout tub number three gets in the way. I guess I could make it just stop at the tub ?
Thank...s Susan you sparked a idea (:
ya know i better have that party on a three day weekend
Here is a video of him in one of his boats. He likes fast toys.
Anything else you want me to prove. What amazes me is what I find normal stuff or nothing really that fancy everyone else thinks it is and says I am bragging or full of shit. I have forgot 1000 times more stuff than I can remember cause I really don't care at the time. I kind of wish I did, cause I would have alot more photos and stuff.
-

sorry didnt see this post sooner...something like this...
people have serious misconceptions about the upkeep of fish tanks...most think the bigger they are the harder to maintain but it's actually the opposite....125 gallon is the smallest tank I would buy...I've owned multiple fish tanks for over 15 years and never had any major problems upkeep wise...I can go on vacations for a week at a time at the drop of a hat with no problems try doing that when you own a few dogs...
-
anyone that doesn't see the beauty in something like this is culturally/artistically inept...

When I was a kid a neighbor of our had a 500 gallon tank that when you forst enter the front door it was the first thing you saw. it separated the foyer from the living room. It was the biggest tank I had ever seen at the time. It was salt water and had all kinds of fancy fish. Then in 87' I was working on a film in San Diego and was up in the penthouse fucking the owner of the hotels girlfriend while he was in New York. He had a fish tank that was absolutely huge. Not sure how big but it was over a 1000 gallons easy. And yes we got caught by someone and they told the producers and I got yelled at and the owner gave us 2 days to leave the propoerty. And yes this is a true story and somewhere I have us on tape down on the beach pointing up to the penthouse where we did it. Yes old times
-
having a house built is a pain in the ass.....i dont ever want to have that done again.....i eventually gave up on the shit...told my mom to have fun, and let her deal with it ;D
i actually got to the point where i said "i refuse to even think about this shit anymore"...handed my mom all the info she needed, and told her to call me if the assholes needed anymore money ;D

also too:
-home office
-conference room
-banquet / ballroom
-green room
-hidden vault
-panic room
-secret tunnels ;D
And the biggest must have: A MAID!
-
- Id also have a panic room or even a crazy 1800 sq ft bunker with tunnels going to other parts of the property, same with the ballroom thing.
- also an attached 3 car garage, with an off site underground &/or warehouse, depending on location 50-150 yards away and a boat dock.
- no neighbours within 2 miles
-
cool looking house.
