And that roof and the fireplaces - oh, my!
The house is designd by:

ReplyDeleteBut boy would you go through a lot of firewood. Your hubby would never get any rest. :-)
LOL! He could always shorten those stairs! :o)
DeleteAs a Californian, I can tell you that stone houses don't do well in earthquake country. New Jersey might be ok, though!
ReplyDelete'Hope you are not in the area where all those swarms are, CW! We get minor ones here in Joisey along the Ramapo Fault.
DeleteInteresting house, I don't care for the bars on the windows. I like stone and wood.
ReplyDeleteThought that was strange too because there are none on the bottom windows and doors. In the beginning I had just assumed they were individual leaded panes of glass like is used with stained glass. Be interesting to know why he did that! :o)
DeleteThere are shutters on all the windows without bars, and the doors are solid, so breaking in must be a concern. Still, I would not have bars on the windows.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Brig! There is very strict gun control in Greece. No handguns allowed only - a shotgun with limited ammo.
