Title: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: mrsoda on December 03, 2009, 11:22:43 am Had this old orange crushing dispenser just laying in the shop for years, curtis took it a few months ago and said i will make you some thing that will look great in your collection, He found and old pedestal and painted it, added lots of art work and made a wood custom base, the dispenser looks great , lots of work to make it look like this, it was an old rusted thing, The wood base was made that the dispenser fits into the wood so it can not be knocked off the base. Curtis and steve brought this morning at 7am, they were off to deliver a few more machines in PA. Great job guys, thank you

Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: memorylane on December 03, 2009, 05:49:51 pm Talk about big, I was there and counted 18 bath rooms but the indoor pool was only at 75Deg. Jeff get on the ball when you know guests are coming! I was looking at the prints of the house and it said 38 thousand Sq, Ft is that correct?? WoW!!! Very nice now I want in the Will.

Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: SIGNGUY on December 04, 2009, 09:44:53 am Yes very nice indeed... I guess, living the american Dream.. you've obviously worked your butt off to get yourself where you are today.. congrats.
hope I'm next. the big question is , what is the next category to start collecting,, you already have almost everything Soda related, Gas Oil related, probably more coin op? maybe vintage bulldozers, antique tractors or something? looks like you'll have room. Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: mrsoda on December 04, 2009, 11:48:51 am Curtis had a hard time getting my wurlitzers up the stairs to the bed rooms. Not an easy task when they are 400 lbs each
Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: Larry on December 04, 2009, 12:22:00 pm With all that money you would think you could have hired a carpenter who wasn't drunk. I hate to be to one to tell you but your stairs are crooked. :biggrin: I'm surprised that you didn't have an elevator put in.
Nice stairway, how many fireplaces? Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: mrsoda on December 04, 2009, 12:36:56 pm He was drunk when he did it, how did you know? i think about 20 fireplaces, never counted
Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: Larry on December 04, 2009, 01:20:27 pm New Hampshires really nice. My wife and I were headed from Niagra Fall to the East coast, years ago on vacation. When we were tired we stayed the night in the Mount Washington area. I never heard of it before but when we woke up and looked around It was so nice there we spent the rest of our vacation there. Maybe one day I'll make it back over there. It was very cold up on Mount Washington. They could have used those 20 fireplaces.
Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: SIGNGUY on December 04, 2009, 01:42:16 pm Jeff,
I know this is a soda machine forum, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see more of that house? if you have time and wouldn't mind sharing, sure would love to see photos or video or of course a personal tour! :oh: :biggrin: Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: davethebirdman on December 04, 2009, 01:53:52 pm Wow... I love New Hampshire too... Spent a couple of vacations there and other parts of New England... More piccies of the house please... Dave Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: mrsoda on December 04, 2009, 02:09:24 pm Enough is enough, This is not my house, This all started when pat said i am running out of room, This is the house of the people who own UTZ potato chips company in Pa. It is 38,000 sf with 20 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms, It has three pools and cost 28 million. I did not think anyone would think i owned this. I do have a new home in new hampshire that we just built but it is only 3000 sf. I know that i have a lot of restored machines about 180, but to have a house like this you need to be mega rich. I dont think i will ever have a house 1/4 of that. I was told it cost 20,000 to heat each month in the winter, What do the taxes cost? how many people to clean it each week? Well it was fun to think you all thought it was mine, back to the soda machines.. jeff
Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: Crazzy Canuck on December 04, 2009, 02:11:45 pm LMAO That's hillarious!!!
Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: Larry on December 04, 2009, 02:16:25 pm Damn, I just quit my job and was going to ask if you needed a butler.
Very funny. Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: mrsoda on December 04, 2009, 02:20:49 pm This is my new house in new hampshire, I thought it was big last week at 3000 sf but now i feel it is just a doll house . Going up this weekend to check out the new wood floors that i was told are finished.
Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: collecture on December 04, 2009, 02:24:12 pm I was wondering - I mean that house has OLD money written all over it. But then again none of us here know each other that well!
Good one Jeff even if it is not April 1st yet! :tounge: The real Wolf house is still nice and bigger than my only house! Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: mrsoda on December 04, 2009, 02:32:28 pm For xmas ever member should list a picture ,so everyone who is on the site knows what everyone looks like,what do you think?
Title: Re: Another great job form curtis at Memory Lane Restorations Post by: davethebirdman on December 04, 2009, 02:44:07 pm I think that's a great idea...We did this when I first joined four or five years ago so its about time it was updated...

You had me going! I resigned today because I was going to be the pool-boy. Guess I will have to see about getting my job back. Your real house looks very nice as well!
