ChefWide said:Just to take some of the burden off of Jersey in the flurry of probing: he mentioned in a thread past that he is taking up a temporary residence in The Big Ashtray whilest his Dream Home is being built on a lovely parcel of land in the Garden State.... oh... and DO go for the height you had mentioned and add a sitting room with 360 views and a terrace for outdoor entertaining.
I've already drawn up those plans. It will be glass floor to ceiling on 3 walls. The only exception will be the interior wall (obviously) and the center of the room where I want to put a huge floor to celing fireplace. There will be one huge solid beam running across the length of the ceiling.
I love the idea of a multi purpose room that can be cleared out for large entertaining.
