The house reflects Andy and his mother's taste in 'objects d'art" amplified by his penchant for military paraphernalia books, guns, uniforms, and related do-dads. A wild collection of computers, which he repaired and rural outdoor equipment -- tractor, mower, snow-thrower, compressor, welder, brush hog, log splitter, ATV, Porche 924s tools and manuals to repair all. DVDs, CDs VHS galore round out the menagerie.
