[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in one of those 'mcmansions'. Not as big as the ones you see in the photos, but very large and all brick. The faux-stucco ones are on my street as well, but they leak like a sieve if the windows aren't caulked properly. Let's dispel some myths, shall we? We live on 5 acres, thus the house indeed fits the lot. We have no gaudy fountains, nor curly trees at the entrance I can vacuum the whole house myself in about 1/2 hour, because while large, it's laid-out well. I have plenty of room for my rescue pets. They are most grateful. Our heating and cooling bills are not outrageous because the house is energy tight. We put in an air exchanger when we built it so it breathes. We did extra water-proofing so it doesn't leak We have no pool. We do have a hot tub set into the deck I do not stay here for the summer, mostly to avoid people who are like y'all. Our house is exceptionally well-balanced. You might not like an element or two, but it's quite classic. My landscaping is not the tacky crap that's so prevalent here in the DC area. We have an abundance of nice shrubs and trees, lots of flowers,antique roses, vines, etc. and I am putting together a lovely parterre garden for next year's growing season. We have a dedicated home theatre, therefore we do not spend a ton of money going out to the movies. I've entertained in there, my kids have had theme parties, and overall, it's paid for itself over and over. It has no tacky velvet rope or curtain. It is beige and black. My property IS my property. I can do what I want with it and don't really care what you do with yours. When you spend time insulting other people's taste, I do wonder about you. Bigtime. [/quote] JeeZUZ, you sound completely insufferable. How does the layout of a house impact one's ability to vacuum it? Seriously? Even if it's poorly laid out and totally "open", or completely closed off, there are still floors everywhere. What a dumb statement. Frankly, I've never tried to vacuum mine by myself in its entirety, so I have no idea how long it takes. Nobody has ever tried to do it alone. I'm not even sure I believe you. Or it's probably not as large as you're alluding. Whoo cares if your pets are rescues? Irrelevant. Classic? Pictures please, we'll see. I've never heard of a classic home that hs a theatre in it.
