50,000 square foot house

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- The enormity of the house Arnold Chase is building on Avon Mountain isn't fully apparent from the outside, where only 17,000 square feet of it lies in plain view.

It's the two-level, 33,500-square-foot basement complex, complete with a 103-seat movie theater, ticket booth, concession stand, game room and music annex, that will make it New England's largest occupied single-family home.

At nearly 50,900 square feet, the Chase home will be slightly larger than billionaire Bill Gates' home in Washington, about 4,000 square feet smaller than the White House and 20 times larger than the average-size home in America.

That place'd fit in a corner of Wolfcounsel's back yard.

Wolfie's dog lives in a house about the size of that place.

Yes, except what would I use it for? Storage? My dog's poop for compost? Questions, decisions.

Actually, the underground portion will be energy efficient in terms of heating and cooling, not that Chase would care. Will the RATs demand to tax the "McMansion" (http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/showthread.php?t=49844) for being over 3,000 sq ft?
