UNBELIEVABLE -- All I can do is shake my head and ask why? lol  Thanks Barry! Anyone else have any crazy pictures like the one below?  I'm still attempting to find out if this picture is for real or not.  I'll keep everyone updated on what I find out lol.

Is it like the house on the rock or something in that style? The house on water?

Someone must have been stoned on that project----nice room divider I guess.  Maybe thermal mass for the south facing windows?

The lighting and shadowing sure looks real.  If not it's a really good photoshop job.

Shane - Do you have a picture of the house on a rock?  Never seen it.

Charles - Question is who was the stoner that bought it that way?  How could you possibly sell it one day? lol

Kevin - I agree.  However many pictures have surfaced that have been proven fake which look very real.  Who knows.  I find it hard to believe someone would actually live in a house with a rock of any size in it.

I hope that house doesn't settle much.  That would be rather disasterous for the front wall.

Maybe they use their phasers to heat up the rock for warmth.

It would be hard to build that wall there and do all of the trim and paint that looks to go behind the rock. I vote for photo-shop.

Maybe the pet rock is making a comeback!

I vote for photo shop I don't see and lines across the rock from the blinds. Also I agree with Philip about the trim work. Unless nano technology was used for the trim work. LOL

I guess it was too expensive to move the rock.  A lot of wasted space.  You think they could have come up with something for it.

Nothing better than kicking back and relaxing on your very own built in Lazy Rock Recliner. This definately falls into the category of what were they thinking.

i think it is biblical to build your house upon the rock, is it not?  Maybe these folks were fundamentalists!

What a crazy thing to run into. I hope I do not have to appraise that house. Comparable sales might be a problem. Haha!
