haha I see tons of space to build a few more. one Question. Do you live close to there? I would be worried about security :)

No one has stolen anything of mine save some reflectors I put out by the street.

Monster house. It looks black, inside and out! I bet that's just the camera though?

Yes, those are crappy iPhone pics, it's not that dark. Those were also taken near 7pm when the back half is shaded from a nearby tree.

You must have ESP, Daiv. That's just what I did on my lunch hour today! (with a real camera)
