Where and How would you like to live....

FAKE PNG.

And after the third flood, the silt under it will be uneven, house will come down, tilt and bind, and the foundation will crack and crumble.

Hell, first time it floats, think of the mess as your sewage, power, drain and water lines disconnect as it rises up. Not to mention central air units.

Beautiful place, stunning water views, but a bit close to neighboring houses for that price.
So not on my dream list.

(pretty house)
The upkeep must be insane.

Slate/tile roofing, brick, and stone are relatively low maintenance. All the fiddly decorative stuff will need an artist, not a house painter, to redo. I have e-books from a century ago on how to build houses like this. This would have been a high-end home from the start. Ordinary people didn't have houses this fancy.

Don't worry about them -- looks like they're going to fall into the ocean pretty soon, anyway.

Did they live in caves?

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, squeeeeeeee! Pretty! Want to see it up close and go inside!

For me, I'd like to live in a house big enough to have a pretty library, walk-in closets, and there'd have to be staircases and one of those old metal filigree'd elevators. I say staircases, because there would be several, and each in its way very fine. There would be a fireplace of prodigous proportions. And it would have to be in Chicago, Vancouver, or Lake Geneva.....Wisconsin that is.

Did they live in caves?

Even in so-called "cave man" days, most people didn't live in caves. We just have a biased view because caves preserve artifacts better for archaeologists to find. A typical home of the time would be like this one from the Sears mail-order home catalog of the same era:

In so called "cave man" days, there was no Sears catalog.

What is a Sears catalog?

What is a Sears catalog?

The Sears catalog started as a mailer in 1888 to a full length catalog of products, and went out of print with the final publication in 1993.

Beginning with mail order goods the company followed the railroad in America’s westward expansion and quickly became a national institution providing a wide variety of goods.

That first catalog released in 1888 focused on watches and jewelry. Over time it included many more things, including clothing, swimsuits, and homes.

That sounds like a good deal. The picture is from 1908. The inflation calculator I found only goes back to 1913 but says that would be about $21,000 now.

On Pern with my dragons.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

I think I've read all but three of those. I don't recognize the last two and I don't think I read First Fall.

Have you read any of the Helva series (Ship who Sang etc)?

 

[Sid]

I'll take 20 of those, for that price.
And next month 20 more.

Complete with lead pipes and an electrical outlet in nearly every room. For insulation, save up your Sears catalogs.

I've read almost all of Anne's books including her non science fictions. The Lady was the first book of hers I read. I just can't seem to get into the Acorna series though. I'm one of the few people who like the crystal singer series. I think the only other series I haven't read is the Coelura series.

The last book in the image was written by her son just before her death. She worked with him before she passed so that the Pern series would continue, and it has. Todd has improved.

Labor and lumber were relatively cheap a century ago. Also homes were smaller. The one I linked to was about 800 square feet, and the second floor were truncated rooms due to the roof line.
