Yeah we should all cut out tracts of already shrinking wooded area so we can "get back nature".

[@holadonkey]

@@masterpiecelacquers2766 actually in the future we will have to grow more trees around us and live among them . since he seems to have money he can grow ten times the trees he cut to make up for the ones he had to chop to make the clearance .

Killer gate. They don't want anyone driving up without notice, I guess. Love the simplicity and versatility with minimal furnishings. Looks pretty low maintenance with what seems to be a cement floor. Hope that it's heated. Some area rugs would soften it a bit, and cut down the echo (from when he was talking). Yeah, like many others commented: would have been nice to see more.
