Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's less than 3000 square. That's a medium family house in TX. "Big" starts at 4000 square, and then mansions are enormous... my inspector has an appt for a 16,000 square foot house he has to inspect on Saturday.

So we had this crazy storm this weekend, and a friend on FB posted pics of trees down in their yard. And if you zoomed in, there were sousaphone horn ends (the big part) all over the yard. I just... didn't know what to say after seeing that.

I tried to get a pic from the pathologist. No luck, said they could only provide it on written request on a cd rom. Measured 4x6x1 cm IIRC.

How does a sub-3000 sq ft house have 78 bad windows? We have 10 windows in our 1800 sq ft house. Admittedly some of them are very big, but still. That's a huge leap to go from 1800 sq ft to (say) 2800 sq ft and pick up 68 more windows.

Not sure... 10 or so I suppose. One thing that bugs me is there are none that face the backyard/pool from the second floor... not that I really need them, but they would be good for spying on neighbors.. prolly why there are none.

Aw, see, that's why we miss you & Miguel around here. Y'all just say what you're thinking. Creepy or not.

I think there are 13 or 14 windows. Not sure if the privacy glass one in the first floor bathroom or the fake one in the dormer thing should count.

I feel bad. My house is only 1200 sf, no pool, 2 car garage. I do have a full finished basement and a 1/2 acre lot. Herbie can probably hear his neighbors pee.
