Did you have your house built so you could have it just the way

[marlakay]

8. Our house had high ceilings too 33'

With a beautiful cedar ceiling with mountain views.

Like you said maintenance was hard as our tallest ladder didn't go up to dust or change lights.

Our house now has a raised ceiling in living room but only goes up 15'.

I love fireplaces had a big one but produced no heat, i have woodstove now.

We had acre of land loved it at first all the privacy, but too much to take care of.

Sometimes what you think you want you don't.

For instance we had a huge master the whole second floor except bath and it was a loft with perfect view, except too bright to sleep in summer and no door to shut and sound travels when you have company.
