So I finally built something bigger than a 10x20 prefab! I must say, its 1000x more work
than I thought it would be. I now have more respect for people like Juro and Lordfly who
make these large houses all the time. But becasue I dont belive in unproductive real
estate it is now serving as a furniture store/gallery. Im really proud of it! ;)


I dont want the truth, just tell me its wonderful :D

Looks much better in person though my picture quality suxz0rz for some reason, feel free
to take a gander, its the only house ontop of a mountain in Hamlin, cant miss it :p

Barnes surprised me with a tp to this house last night. It's great! And the design is well integrated with its site.

Sorry to have to break this to you, but... your build is amazing. The fact that this is your first build makes it all the more fantastic. If this is a sample of your first endeavor I have no doubt that you will produce even more beautiful items for us to enjoy in the future. Thanks for letting us know about this. Best of luck with your new sales :)

Awww thanks everyone you are so sweet :D

lets see answer questions...

there are 1200ish prims on the lot, and alot of them are furniture (Ingrids set alone is about 100), so I think the house itself is not very prim heavy, although with all my beams im sure its not a prim saver either. My best estimate is about 500 at the most.

Ingrid you know I tried to make a secret Romp room inside the mountain, silly teraforming rules, i can only go up or down like 5 meters : /

Thanks Bradder, this is my first large project I finished, alot of people know my prefabs but those are small and not very complex. This was actually a second attempt at a large house, I started this one (see attached) but it was WAY too prim heavy and my furniture didnt really look good in it anyway, i scraped it and made this white more modern one.

Daz - The cat is art made by the lovely Kei Mars, I thought it went with the house so I stuck it up.

Paolo the house is almost as fabulous as you... almost

Beryl - Im not sure if im doing custom works, I would drive you nuts considering it took me 4 weeks + to get this house done, I mess around too much and I have a poor work ethic :)


Aimee I know im sexy

I was already your roomate in TSO Angie

And I still hate you and your boyfriends 6 pack Juro. ;) But im glad you like it :p

blah blah blah

As Mr. Anubis' neighbor and having had the pleasure of watching Barnesworth at work, I must say I was amazed with how fast he built it and very pleased with the result. An asset to the neighborhood!

I do suggest that if you have not seen it 'live', you do swing by.

Nice work, Barnes! :)

Fabu pad, Barnesworth. Great to see architecture that's functional, beautiful, and well-integrated with its surroundings.

Ooooh! I love the roofs. It's so nice ... though with all those windows, I wouldn't dare skipping around in the living room naked. :D
