In summary, the conversation was about what kind of home an expert would want. The expert would like a stone built cottage with exposed beams, big open fireplaces, and large rooms filled with antique furniture. There would be a huge kitchen with a wood burning range, flag stone floors, and bare stone walls. The expert would want something in the middle of the woods, on the top of a big mountain.

It is no good planning this heist if you can not be serious, the PF gang will
use innovation, some of that womanly guile and super intelligence, on this
caper, now get your thinking caps on, we have to build rome in a day.

Build Rome in a day? I thought we were planning a heist. :-p :smile: Or is building Rome part of the plan? We will use it as a distraction, a decoy? Wow, that's good thinking. But where will we get the materials to build a whole city in a day? We'll have to plan another heist. Don't worry, I'm on it. :wink:

Maybe we could throw skunks at people?

I don't know if monks have sponks or not. That's what's so kinky about monks.

Its a corruption of spank, ie his mother gave him a good sponking.

It sure has nothing to do with spunk, at least.

And all this started with those gun totting nuns, any way i have added a cellar
in my plans, just big enough for some fine wines, and i am planning a water
mill, so zooby doesn't have haul water, it will mostly be hidden by the trees
so it won't detract the view.

Remote log cabins in the woods by the lake?
You mean cabins built with logs that look like remote controls?

I think Wolram's house most represents my ideal home.

Being from Michigan I love lakes, the outdoors, and the wilderness. My house would be in the middle of the woods- perhaps on lake Michigan ,or just on some nondescript lake miles from nowhere. The light would cast a suttle autumn glow in the late afternoon on the golden brown leaves that would cover the ground.

The home would be a medium size- suitable for entertaining but not a mansion. A roaring center fireplace is of course a must, where I could entertain guests with some nice wine or a brandy (sherry, beer-pick your poison from the full bar) with a library and a den. comfortable furniture but otherwise very rustic- oak or stone- or a combination of both. Maybe even a log cabin. A large double decker back porch overlooking the lake where I could ponder life and listen to the crickets and katy dids, or watch the fireflies dancing. The lower level would be a walk out from the basement level, with a hot tub front and center so I could view the lake from there.

Someday..
