11 Million Dollar Home / Only One Welding Plug

[sixdogs]

Heck, I'd build $10.8 million shop/barn and a $200,000 house. Still spend the same money.

The "$10.8 million shop/barn and a $200,000 house" would likely not be possible on Nantucket.
The island has very strict building restrictions.

OK, $10.25 million shop, $250,000 house, $100,000 in local political contributions and $400,000 for DC attorneys.
Maybe hold back $100 for a good limerick writer.

Helipad would be nice. Then the wife would stop pestering me about parking mine in the arena :silly::rotfl:

Good friends of mine worked on the landscaping. The owner is a farmer. Apparently he felt the contractors wanted too much for the granite pavers for the driveways so he bought the pavers and did it all himself.

They must have high value crops out there. Farmers around here are just trying to survive with the low price of corn and soybeans.

Not enough land to spend that much on. Id have spent 3 mil on a home and shop on 5000 acres and another 3 mil on a Tropical home with a pallet of shrink wrapped cash at each location.. To each his own.

Don't forget to save enough to buy the pig.

OK, sure. That's a $10.239 million shop, $250,000 house, $100,000 in local political contributions, $400,000 for DC attorneys, $10,000 for a helipad, $400 for the pig and $100 for a good limerick writer.

The shop, and welder plug is possibly for maintenance people.

I have customers with lots of money, they have all kinds of tools, and equipment they don't actually use.

Lots of people own airplanes, and don't know how to fly them.

Some people think grand pianos are furniture.

That痴 a sin!

Found it interesting that this new home (in my area) boasts a shop/garage but mentions only ONE welding plug (prob 110v).

My shop is slightly smaller but has SEVERAL 50 amp weld plugs. Plus I'm probably happier (and better looking). Okay I made that last part up, but I like to think money isn't everything.

Money isn稚 everything,

It痴 the lack of money that痴 everything.

When people are willing to spend a fortune on silly stuff, like $90+ million on a stainless steel rabbit, we have lost our minds. :confused2:

If I could afford to build 10 mil I ain't building a shop to weld up rusty cars,

Friends of ours just sold their home; essentially it's one of the largest homes in this county:

- +8500 sq ft house with 3 car garage; no 240 vac plugs
- +3 car detached garage, no 240 vac plugs
- +$85k horse barn, no 240 vac plugs

The guy buying the place? If he needs some welding done, he won't be buying a welder or putting in any 240 vac plugs. He'll just buy a welding company. He's a billionaire and he's barely over 30.

The island has very strict building restrictions.

Never mind Nantucket as it seems that every city is going crazy with regulations and permits for just about everything.
Naturally none of which are cash grabs.

Latest in my area is your driveway grade.
They claim it is for emergency vehicle access.
Building permit, well permit, septic permit, soil analysis, garage permit, surveys, and recently survey to assure that U are X distance from all neighbor septics and wells.
Then renovation permits as well. In some areas U need to have colors approved B4 painting.
Forgot, fire or burn permit.
All of which have fees attached.
Making it worst they take up to 60 days to issue some permits.

Another is a permit to cut dead trees which when issued specifies that U replace it.
\(and we are in a forest)

holy crap....when did the Californians move in there and take over your government.

but then again even we have Building permits, septic permits and well permits. burn permits are free, but you have to log in and tell them your burning...that way they wont send truck if neighbor calls about seeing smoke. There is some debate going on about driveway width for fire trucks (maybe thats a good thing, i have been on service calls where my dodge truck cant fit between trees).. i can cut and burn any tree i like.

Adding a 220 outlet is usually pretty easy but adding a hose bib on a finished home is not. I have worked on some of these Mc-Mansions over the years and recall many times when we had to run 200' or more of hose because there was only one hose bib and it was usually on the opposite side of the house from where we were working.
