I always enjoy your outdoor photos, so natural looking!  That giant stone slab you're using as a Joe-scale road must be enormous (10 ft of flat unbroken rock?).

It looks quaint from the outside!  I live in a "Cookie Cutter" neighbourhood where the only difference is the colour of the brick.

well, it was built in the '50s...

if you want 'quaint', you should scoot around the village on street view and look at some of the older houses...

Great shots! I live in military housing, it's along the same lines, most of my collection is packed away due to lack of room. I kinda feel your pain  :wink:

I stand corrected: The land looks big enough...you can still camp outside if you find the house too crowded  :lol:

Do you believe in Ghost Activity? There is definitely something behind that window I tell you, and it's smiling at me in a terrifying way  :o
