Near San Diego, California, there’s a rotating house: and somehow, all the utilities, the electricity, gas and water, work even on the rotating part. How’s that possible? ■ Al’s site: https://rotatinghome.com ■ The real estate listing: http://navrealestate.co/4903-mount-helix-dr

I didn't have time to fit it in the video, but: on the basement floor, in the non-rotating part, there's another turntable: so you can park your car and not have to reverse out!
Too bad, they would have been some heavy duty skid marks.
When you have so much money you buy problems.
I made I fun house vid about rotating houses AND ITS REAL!-Evan 🙂
How many birds get killed on all of that clear glass?

Ill be honest Im on the same side as that guy like Ill want a nice place to spend my last days in too when I get to his level
When you are such a genius that no one else can fix your house because no one else knows how it works.
imagine the electric bill
Imagine making plumbing so ingenious you file a patent for it.
one cool dude
It’s all brilliant but what I can’t wrap my head around is why you would put sewer/gray water above drinking water.
Hope you got the drinking water on top
Umm, id be using bottled water for everything, thank you very much!
I wouldn't be able to resist having a turbo button so the house spins at 400 RPM.
