Whaaat!? You can't get insurance with a pole? You can bet your *** if I lived in an old fire station with a hole in the floor, I'd find some creative way to get from the 2nd to 1st floor, aside from falling.

I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.
I would have said that to the realtor verbatim for kicks lol. Love the kitchen though, the only complaint I have about mine is that it is a little cramped. It would be awesome to be as open as yours.

HAHAHAHAHA. This is *EXACTLY* what I was thinking when I started reading this post, and I literally just burst out laughing when I saw you'd posted it.
Pinky, in case you didn't get it, this is a quote from Ghostbusters, spoken by Egon, when the three were in the process of purchasing an old Firehouse to convert into their HQ.
You seriously have the coolest house of anyone I know. And a friend of mine used to live in this house:
Yours is better.

Pinky doesn't seem the type to let a curb cut stop him from successfully getting vehicles in and out of that edifice.
Also, you should paint this on your front walk:

Yeah, it's usable, just a pain in the ***. By straddling the low sides of the handicap crosswalk cut it's only a 2" "curb". I scored a monthly spot in a deck across the street for parking my daily, but have all the "cool cars" (read that "occasionally used") downstairs.

this is awesome!!!!!! I tried to convince my wife to let me build an 80X100 steel building with 30Ft ceilings to have a huge garage down stairs and 8000sqft living space upstairs. she liked it until she thought about the fact that she would hear and smell the cars all the time. :( So now I will just have to build a big garage for myself.

So it looks like three garages converted to a single door and an entrance?
You have my dream home. Giant garage with tiny living space above. Except you have a giant living space above. Start moving in the tools! I'd have to buy more tools to fill that downstairs.

Here's an annoying panorama of the front bay downstairs.
