Now that is love!

[T00ts]

The house we viewed 6 weeks ago and we made an offer on and lost out came back on the market yesterday and they decided we could have it. So Mrs will be pleased and therefore so will I as we make plans to live by the sea. (Not near Sheep)

Oh congratulations! There nothing better than losing an opportunity and then suddenly finding that you have another chance. I hope it all goes smoothly.

Oooh that's exciting!

Interesting. And checking from that I see there are rotating couplings suitable for water and larger bore couplings actually in use in the chemical and food industries...

The old restaurant in the BT Tower managed by keeping  plumbing among other services on a central island and, although the house does look a bit small for that solution, caravans do manage to squeeze lots into small spaces.   

Any electrical connections are probably maintained with slip-rings — a bit like our kettle continues boiling if it's rotated on its stand while switched on. Though are Nicolas Tesla's wireless power transmission theories being put to the test? 

We should be told...

It's an interesting thought. I wonder how his plumbing handles the twisting. I wouldnlt fancy flushing his bog for a start. And then there is the power cables. The more i think about this. the more it seems a nightmare!

Put up with them for 45 years.

A true romantic.

It would be easier to design if it turned 360 degrees with stops at the end of the travel, otherwise he must have put in some pretty awesome connections, because it seems capable of constant turning.

It would seem logical to me that the house rotates back and forth rather than round and round in the same direction, that might allow a certain 'twist'.

Good point 

Sadly I actually know the answer to the electrical side of that, you would need the sort of ring contact that they use at the base of a radio telescope. Can't say I fancy a freely swivelling water or sewage joint though, and you'd need a sort of water seal as they had on gasometers to keep the gas supply going. Or limit him to the calor gas pripane canisters...

Only a man would think of that!

Happy wife happy life they say but this guy took it to the max and built his house so it could pivot 360 degrees because his wife wanted to change the view from her window.

I bet it was the wrong colour.

I guess she would say the same!!!

I suppose we fall into accepting that because we have been with each other for many years thats enough to prove our love and we just chug along in our own matrimonial happiness .

A bit of bling and a few daisies now and again seems to perk her up  but apart from that she doesnt want for much

I'm working on a plan to please the Mrs. at the moment - I'll let you know if it works.
It is incredibly difficult! 

Oooh that's exciting!
