Wow... I just watched him cruise in the SLS AMG - the engine growling around those curves... awesome.

Round house Wilton, CT

Hattie,

Speaking of turntables you should sell someone this house. The entire house rotates on an old Navy destroyer turret base.

It was built in Wilton in '68 and is going for a couple of mill.

Looks like the Bug from MIB would want to crawl into it and try and fly it off the planet.

He doesn't need the other spots, you can only drive one car home at a time.

When I was living in Bremerton, WA some of my Navy buddies rented a house next door to a converted WWII battle tug boat. The gun mounts were still there and all the hatches still functioned. Been almost 20 years since I saw it. I wish I had photos. That was the oddest and the best house I have ever seen.

I wonder how the rotating mechanism is powered? Electrically?

I don't know. I do wonder what the real estate agents commission would be on a $2,000,000 sale.

The house can be set to have a room follow the sun. Pretty bad a$$.

Commision on a $2m sale would be $80k if they get the full 4%, if they are good talkers and get it for 5-6 percent a bit more.
