Horror writer Stephen King's posh mansion to spend the winter in Florida. (the mansion is spending the winter in Florida? Is it on wheels)?



I dunno - somehow it just loses something in the translation
(I tried to copy and paste the translated words but they turned into links directing me to this same photo of Stephen King over and over)...

It almost hast to be, to keep the looky-loos out. At least he's got all that beach to himself. It wouldn't surprise me to see fans come in on surfboards. Gah.
I'm just glad they didn't say where the house is.
Sorry LL, I accidently hit the 'unlike' button! Please disregard that little notice, ok????

....I don't begrudge Unca Steve a damn thing, that's for sure....as you've already stated-he lived poor and very much hand to mouth for far too long...his success has allowed him to indulge any number of creature comforts and bully for him!...he doesn't flaunt it-and he also graciously gives of his fortunes to causes and folks he believes in...he's one of us-a small town buy done good and he's still real folk...

Look on the bright side...there is a good amount of work there for some hard-working people...a lot of work. In fact, looks like the landscapers are still there...looks like they're still putting some of the finishing touches on the product. I'd have been tickled pink...big pink...to have had the opportunity to have worked on that. I'd love to know what make of windows are installed...more about the roof (hurricane prone area...so steel makes sense). When I lived in Florida...and worked there...everything was built on a slab, so those small...vents or windows on the smaller building...down low, are enough to make me curious. I thought the smaller building looked a bit like the house on the hardcover of Duma Key...and it does resemble that, except the one on the cover has one of those Florida room additions.

Jo, what does the article say?

I don't think I can write exactly what the article says but I can try.
Here we go....

Horror author Stephen King spend wintertime in his posh mansion in Florida.
That was the title of the article here's the text.....

Stephen King have been renovated his seaside Villa in Casey Key even better.
The author has wintered with his wife Tabitha in Florida since 1997. The couples
actual home is in Bangor Maine.

In the newly renovated house has room for as many as 700 square meters. King paid for
his house 8,9 million dollar in 2001

There was the text and then comes those picture of his house.

Yeah, Very cool, the man does Not have to worry about the ability to pay big electric bills, yet he chose to conserve energy.
