I don't think the pics are that bad considering I took them on my Razr.

Outside View:


The hallway when you enter the house. I love this brick inside and the exposed beams in the ceiling.


In the living room, looking up at the 2nd floor. And hey you can even see our illegals! Don't get me started on that :cursing:


Looking down from the 2nd floor.

I love high ceiling at CHristmas. We had a custom tree holder built in Michigan to hold the 15 foot tree.

Spoken from someone who hasn't had a 15lb cat decide to scale that bad boy in the middle of the night. Tree tipped over, huge noise, me scared shitless with a firearm ready to shoot whomever is breaking in. It's kinda comical now that I think about it.

Shooting a cat would not be all bad Dub!

I do same as most folks. When younger, family always bought from the local Boys and Girls club lot so we could help them out. As I got my own place for a small townhouse, tried to do the same. Seems everyone is out there hocking trees and selling at very high costs. Something like $60 for a decent tree last I remember. So when wife and I bought the single family home we are in now, went for the high quality, pre lit 8' tree and love it. It gets stored under the steps and will be cost effective after we have had for the 3rd Christmas season as cost about $200 bucks in the off season. Only things it lacks is: fresh pine smell, looking in the cold for one, hauling back to the home, vacuuming up the needles, need to water the tree, then getting rid of the tree in January. Yeah, I sure do miss the real tree smell.

My boss just bought 2 - 12' fake trees for right around $250 each. Pretty crazy. No clue how they look as they were still in the boxes.
For 250 each, those trees must not have been pre lit. My tree is 7 1/2 with 1800 lights, (I like alot of lights! I even strung more lights on the tree!!) and cost me $500. I guess it's a good thing I don't have vaulted ceilings in my house our I would have had to spend about a grand on a tree!

That is one big ass house. I'm with you, I like the exposed brick on the inside also.
