back of it, you ll see it s actually made of two cable cars and a horse car on the second floor. this is how it s sort of put together. we re look at the backyard here. two cable cars are put together and they basically removed a wall from each to make one large room, a living room. then the horse car is still complete as a bedroom off to the side. this is photographs perhaps the last greatest carville house left. it s really a neat place. so with the cable cars, you know you have that little pop-up roof in the middle. what they did so you wouldn t have to duck is they removed that wall and they pushed up the side roof to sort of make this dome feeling inside. and the seats are original. they re still in there. the little ventilator windows. the woodwork is all in place. it s just really a neat thing. i d love to live there. i can t afford it. and if you get up into the attic, you can see the crowns of the cable cars still show. it s just an amazing place. so that s my hope

car, a compartment in one car. the other car might be your mother-in-law. and you could meet in the middle in that sorted of connecting section for breakfast. they did similar things. they d put like four in a cross with a connecting part in the middle. and you could see these are not exactly a.d.a. accessible. they re up here on these platforms above the sandunes. you can probably guess why. if you can t, i ll give you another view here. this is the same view pretty much. so you can see that car up above the sandunes. but here it s getting sort of buried. the sand would shift. and it would blow around and they talked about if you lived in a car house how you might get up in the morning, open your door, and there would be a three-foot drop. or if you made the mistake of having your door open out, you might not be able to get out because the sand billowed up against the door in the night. so they build these car houses up on stilts just to keep them above the sand and above th
