I thought this rotating house was impossible.

I didn't have time to fit it in the video, but: on the basement floor, in the non-rotating part, there's another turntable: so you can park your car and not have to reverse out!

Kudos to whoever did the graphics. Made a very difficult concept quite easy to understand.

He made the house for good reason, he sells the house for good reason. What a man.

Brilliant house! Sold on 08/21/23 for $5, 100, 000, congrats to the homeowner/architect.

[Emtrax.]

Tom got incredibly lucky to actually have the guy who built it explain it

[silverlunas]

As a practicing Architect, I gotta say this man is a genius. The plumbing slip ring is mind blowing in it's simplicity.

[EngineeringMindset]

As soon as I read "rotating house" my brain went into overdrive trying to think of ways the services could work. Interesting to see how he achieved it through slips rings.

Tom, one of your best. The human angle really makes it. Many videos like this would purely focus on the technical, not the man and his family behind it. Why he did it, and why they're moving make the video that much more engaging.

The real Praise not just the Owner for inventing new slipring, etc. But taking care of his wife, knowing what his future holds and making sure she has what she needs. What a bloody hero to his family.

[肉骨粉]

I love that the homeowner isn't just someone who just threw money at problems, but is an inventor who actually did some unique work to realize his vision.

[MaestroOblidemon]

That man's explanation as to why they're moving let's you know how down to earth he is, love him.

The animations are really helpful. I wish more people would do animations to explain stuff.

Wasn’t expecting to see the homeowner being the person who designed and built the house. How awesome!

[jishan]

The builder of this house genuinely seems like a nice person, he poured a lot of passion and hardwork into that house.

[introvertswag]

This guy literally created parts to make this work. What a incredible feat of engineering.

[dearthofdoohickeys]

Props to her for letting him build what he wanted. And props to him for preparing a comfortable life for her when he’s gone.

[Quonzer]

I hope this house is preserved and not demolished. The design of the core is ingenious and it's a testament to engineering history.

Good job to that real-estate agent. This video's mere existence is an advert. They didn't need to pay Scott for advertisement and Scott got to film in a place he always wanted. Mutually beneficial.

I live five miles from here and I occasionally hike around Mount Helix - there are many solar panels on the roof of this home. I always wonder what the solar system is like and how much electricity from the grid they use. This entire area is 5A+ in terms of views and climate, as far as I've seen. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THE UTILITIES! I see now how very innovative and cool that entire system really is. I wish I could see the cost layouts for design, construction and maintenance, etc. I see that it sold for $5.1 million on August 21, 2023... thought it would have been quite a bit higher. It's a unique gem located within a gem.

[Colopty]

Him realizing that he was now stuck having to solve a problem he invented himself is highly relatable and I appreciate his attitude. Seems like a good and smart guy.
