Okay this is my first go around with video so bear with me. It's a lot darker than the original since I had to compress the thing.

Excellent! Ever count the backpacks in the house?

Griff · 01-26-2008, 02:52 PM

Since they all have a place to be hung up, I'll check... I guess there is one backpack in the house.

glatt · 01-26-2008, 03:03 PM

Excellent!

Wow, Griff, Grifftopia is even nicer than I imagined. I knew it must be a cool place from the handful of pictures I had already seen, but it is very impressive.

Elspode · 01-26-2008, 03:12 PM

Dude...your place radiates *amazing* energy, even through a damn video. Your entire life seems to exude this sense of peace and groundedness. I'm actually taken somewhat aback.

You are a blessed man.

Griff · 01-26-2008, 03:52 PM

You guys really know how to touch me. Thank you so much. Spode you're doing my eulogy; your word-smithing is remarkable.

Chocolatl · 01-26-2008, 04:52 PM

Your home seems so wonderfully warm and inviting -- the type of place I've always dreamed of having. I'm very impressed with all of the work you've put in to it -- how long has this project taken?

zippyt · 01-26-2008, 04:56 PM

Grifftopia looks Cool , Good job !!!!

I reckon he's just working up to spamming us with goat milk soap for sale

Lovely place, Griff.

Clodfobble · 01-26-2008, 05:34 PM

Very cool, Griff! Does Pete sell that soap, or is that purely for you guys to use?

seakdivers · 01-26-2008, 05:59 PM

Cool!! I love your house!! I want to see your yard in the spring & summer too.

Griff · 01-26-2008, 06:39 PM

I built the shed in '97 and started cutting trees for the frame in '98. I managed to raise two junior dwellars and get my Masters done as well; it's been a long strange trip. I've been biding my time to spring the Cellar Soap line on you guys, UT is in on this clever "community" marketing scam. We figure to pull down upwards of one figure if we play our cards right.

Great seeing it all, and great hearing you, too!

It seems like the right thing, to have a glorious mess in the middle of nowhere northern PA. It seems like if it were kept neat it would be a mistake. Kids are none the worse for it and the downstairs part is neat enough to move around.

I must say the skis by the doorway are nostalgic for me. My mom's side of the family grew up in northern New Hampshire, and although my grandfather was too old by the time we were visiting, there were a few people who would ski around, and the end of the day scene could be much like that. A snowy house in the woods, skis by the door, fireplace roaring.

soooo cool.

the girls beds are like the Ingalls'! do they wear white bonnets to sleep?

I think you should let us know when you're going on vacation, so we can house sit for you.

Griff · 01-27-2008, 06:53 AM

Thank you gents! Maybe there should be a Cellar vacation house swap, of course somebody has to milk Tinker.
