		<description><![CDATA[I love the idea of &#8220;secret spaces&#8221; in houses. Attics, trap doors, lazy susans, laundry shoots, or even massive wardrobes that you can walk into (hide and seek anyone?). They all open up the imagination and make a house feel so multi-dimensional, like it has a personality of its own. Our house will basically be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=earthtosunhouse.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8955901&amp;post=136&amp;subd=earthtosunhouse&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

To find one corner and stake out the easement will cost us between $700 &#8211; $900.
