I have to go with the West Virginia home even though I don't really care for it. That home is decorated in such a way that its like going on that HGTV show with the twins. They show you the house and you have your list of needs or wants and the house you are going through has the potential of meeting your list but you have to look beyond the clutter and maybe knock down a few walls. But, like I said when the Wyoming house was first posted, having to walk down all those paths to get to the various sections of the house is going to get old really ****ing fast and there might be days where I want to chill in the pool but then I'm thinking about the 200 steps I have to take to get there and its just like **** it.

Wyoming is better here but it still feels overpriced.

Someone needs their ass beat for decorating the West Virginia house with that wallpaper and paint. How in the actual hell did that seem like a good idea to someone.

That said, I think I like it this much >< more. This is a tough heat - both of the houses are right in my wheelhouse of like, but the WV house calls to me. Bwana's second home would be amazing with those views and creek right there, though. There isn't a bad choice here, imo. I look forward blowing my first year's stipend on redecorating that ugly bitch.

This is a tough one. I'd be all about the half million additional stipend but man that WV house is awful. I mean the bones are awesome but it would be a major overhaul, and what I could maybe stay in the office until a bedroom gets refinished? That's probably better than a years worth of work. Depends on when the stipend gets cashed I guess?

I gotta go with Wyoming. All I have to do is throw out that goddamned reclaimed wood table. What kind of pretentious douche do you have to be to make a house with as clean of finish as that and say, YEP I need a reclaimed wood table.




I guess maybe I could sell ALL THE SHIT in the house and buy some wall finishing.

I recognize that I'm not a sun worshiper at all, and that other people actually like being in the pool on a sunny day. But from my perspective I can't imagine building my own $20 million home and not having the pool indoors. Even more so in a four-season climate.

Wyoming for sure. The location alone is enough to tip the scales, then looked at the WV house and my eyes want to throw up. Hell yes, a house on the Snake River, not far from several top notch national parks. A hundred miles in any direction would be fine with me.

It's too bad that there isn't an easy way to determine the best house in a state rather than just the most expensive, because there have to be better houses in WV than that one, even if they're priced lower.

The Tetons might be my most favorite place in the world. So Wyoming all day everyday

The only good thing about the WV mansion is the wine cellar...and that was ALMOST enough to give it my vote. But it's still WY for me.
