[QUOTE="Louis C., post: 857156,

But with your first picture, you killed your post. I don't think anyone can compete.

I don't know about that. Piggy Wiggly has a bicycle collection that fills a warehouse. I know of one man in Chicago that has 200 bicycles in his garage alone! He even has bicycles in his bathroom . I left his house speechless and with my mouth open. My friend had to remind me to talk and walk as I we struggled to get into this man's house. I bet there is someone out there that even beats all of these guys combined :-0[/QUOTE]

I spend a lot of time in the back yard. I'm surrounded by semi controlled shrubbery. In the summer time I can go back there and not see a single house or building any direction I look. I like the privacy of the yard. I try to keep it semi manicured, but don't spend much to maintain it. In summer I am out there weekly clipping back branches, and tossing them in the fire pit that is located in the back corner. I let all the natural vegetation grow around the perimeter.

I also have a off the grid river front cabin about a hour away on several acres that I maintain the same way. The cabin has a hand pump for well water, solar panels and battery's for electricity with a backup gasoline generator, a wood burning furnace & stove. I put a water tank on a deer hunting stand for running water. The best part it has zero utility expenses. Its pretty self sufficient except for property taxes..

I have planted a lot of edible trees and shrubs, (Blueberry's, Strawberry's, Raspberry's, Currents, Gooseberys, Apples, Pears, PawPaw's, Cherries, and a bunch of other stuff) , so in the summer there is always treats to be had, along with typical garden produce.

The inside of my home is not very fancy or impressive, its pretty simple and dated. I currently have about a dozen 70-80's era bikes hanging in the basement, but nothing that's super collectable. Just Bikes that are ready to ride, and a couple of nicer mountain bikes I bought more than decade ago.

I do buy lots of vintage items and antiques, but end up selling most of my coolest stuff. I enjoy the hunt, and researching my new finds history more than anything else. Its a self sustaining hobby.
