1. No - the view might be wonderful but I get vertigo

[mnhtnbb]

2. No running to the store for some milk.

[krispos42]

3. Only if Amazon gets drone-delivery in my area

Because I think once I get up there, I'm staying up there.

Jeez, what a place to build a shack.

[orleans]

4. and how exactly does someone get up there? or down? it's crazy! n/t

[Jamaal510]

5. A ladder

is the only way I can think of (besides having a personal plane or air balloon).

[Electric Monk]

10. You can see the ladder on the right hand side if you look closely. nt

19. better pic here

18. "the only way to reach the house is via a 131-foot ladder, which takes him 20 minutes to climb"

[orleans]

22. omg--i had two thoughts about that

initially

1. when you're almost home & you realize you have to go to the bathroom & then you hurry to get inside. no such thing with that house

2. grocery shopping. i'll do four or five trips from the car/garage into the house with all the bags.

it is lovely to look at. should be a painting of some sort. but so terribly impractical, unless you are trying to get away from an enemy and just push the ladder over when the enemy starts climbing. and hopefully you still have your rope to get down later on.

6. There'll be no...

...Chinese food delivered there.

[PoliticAverse]

7. Can it get Internet? n/t

[SMC22307]

8. No, but I'd love to vacation there.

Truly getting away from it all...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. ONLY if it had an elevator!

[WhiteAndNerdy]

11. Bet they don't get a lot of door-to-door missionaries up there! nt

[ashling]

13. No, but they get a lot of eagles

[Brigid]

25. That would wonderful!

[ashling]

30. Depends

Eagles up!

[pinboy3niner]

31. But to live there, I'd still need...

Depends.

[pinboy3niner]

12. Looks like an eerie airy aery. nt

[Callmecrazy]

14. It would suck carrying groceries from the car...

[pinboy3niner]

15. The new refrigerator delivery may include a slight surcharge. :)

Don't even ask about the piano.

[Art_from_Ark]

16. And if you do get a piano,

whatever you do, don't let these guys bring it up to you!

[pinboy3niner]

20. I think I'd switch to the piccolo or the triangle. :)

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. no but fascinating to look at

[bikebloke]

21. Not for sleep walkers.

I wouldn't mind staying therre for a few days though.

[flying rabbit]

23. Probably keep

zombies out.

[Brigid]

26. Yep.

Rick and the gang from "The Walking Dead" should think of this.

[pinboy3niner]

27. Famous last words

Maybe it keeps them IN.

[Special Prosciuto]

28. That's a precarious old unstable rock formation

like New Hampshire's legendary "Old Man." No, I wouldn't live there.

[pinboy3niner]

29. You just had to add that, didn't you?

As if we weren't scared enough already.

[lovemydog]

32. No. But I'd go & look at the view.

[Sherman A1]

33. I might like to give it a try

but one would serious have to plan many of the things we take for granted as mentioned above, like getting the groceries in the house.

[hobbit709]

34. I'd rather live here.

36. Well, that's tough -

it's not your thread!

[IrishEyes]

35. I work with lots of people all day long.

Yes, I would live there.
