    They look stained! The leaded glass isn't safe! And that stone basement leaks like a sieve! Can't you update it with vinyl siding at least?:lolup::pub: Those old neighbourhoods, man. How many bankers live in their on the dole? Poor guys.:lolup:

    Is that the Biltmore estate in Asheville, NC? I was there about 30 years ago. Apparently, John Vanderbilt stood, looking out one of the turrets and told his guy he wanted to own every piece of land within his eyesight and, eventually he did it. Can you imagine? I would've hated to have been his lawn mower.
    The Roadmaster, by the way, looks right at home there.

    Needs a layer of Tex-Cote to prevent the grout from cracking.

    Snooterbuckets, Yes that is the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, billed as the largest private home in the US. Since you were there they have converted the milking facility into a winery. Alot of tours to take. Great place to go if you are in the area. Plan a day and a half. If you buy your tickets after 3:00 PM (I think) you can come in the next day. I suggest that you do that, see the winery and the conservatory in the afternoon and come back the next day and tour the house.

    So now instead of milking cows they are milking winos :evilsmile:

    I'm thinking about what a bugger of a job it would be to dust that place. Start as a teenager at one end, make one pass of the place and retire as a senior.
