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!

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

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.

I grew up less than a mile from that house- I remember when they started building it, thinking there was no way it could be done... now when I show visitors the amphitheater/ park at the top of Mt. Helix (technically La Mesa), I always stop to show them the rotating house... never met the folks, but had seen many newspaper etc stories in the past and they always seemed so charming!

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

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

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

What he didn't mention was that there was a fire suppression system on top of the roof, in case of a wild fire. This was mentioned by the owner when it was aired a few years back.

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.

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

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

This homeowner is an absolute genius. He has thought of everything to make it go smoothly. Even his death.

This man is an inspiration to aspiring engineers. The agent that decided to contact Tom Scott deserves a raise.

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.

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.

Hi Tom, in Curitiba - Brazil there's a rotating building. Ten floors. Each floor rotates individually. But the building was never inhabited. It's an interesting story worth exploring

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.

The owner has a patent on this rotating water service pipe. That's insane levels of engineering.

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

I can't believe that house is actually for sale, I've seen it for years and always just wondered how it even worked It's really cool for you to actually take a look inside cause I've always wondered
