I have designed and built a new 3,500 square foot house that rotates slowly and constantly.
Magazine interview transcript from Nov 29th, 2007
Why 3,500 square feet? I just kept adding stuff, mainly floor.
Why rotate constantly? I decided that I wanted my new house to be the only house in my hemisphere (northern) to drain water in a clock-wise rotation in the shower.
How fast does it rotate? Thats a closely guarded secret.
Couldn't we just stand outside and count the revolutions? No, there is a stationary shield to guard from prying eyes.
Will there be tours? Maybe.
What is it like to live inside a spinning house? Oh, its just horrible. After a while your mind starts to think that little pink spiders have started crawling all over the walls making monkey noises. Who could have predicted that ?!?!? I had predicted squirrel noises, maybe.

Update 2007-Dec-23 - It was discovered that a bearing was defective on the main rotation device, making a squealing noise, and that is what was causing the "monkey" noises. The neighbor's dogs don't howl as much now either.
