Maybe a house on a private island or up in the mountains would be nice. 

You would have to leave to get supplies from time to time, though.

I worked on a private island twice

How did you get to the private island?


Boat,  Once all the materials were delivered in containers that the garbage was stuffed into at the end of the job before they too them away.  The second time we went with two trainees who just rode the boat back and forth with the materials till we had them all and we had to carry out the garbage.  The guy spent over six million dollars just to have the electrical service ran out to his island.  He had five houses on it one was the care takers which I worked on another was a boat house which was the other one I worked on. There was his house, a guest house and  a tea house.  It is Tavern Island st off Norwalk Ct.  He was weird he bought a million dollar home next to were he docked his boat and parked his car and tore it down to make room for his garage on the mainland  It was a strange experience.  I have worked on the most bizarre houses you can think of some even for famous people

If I had a lot of money to spend, I wouldn't go for a used Jaguar...

I'd go to Ripon, England, and stay there tracing my great-great-grandmother's family.  :viking:

You'd like the location of our house. While it's not miles from the closest neighbours (I'd say around 700 metres), we can't really see them and definitely not hear them. ;D
