dining room as you can tell but look at this this is a fireplace if you can imagine that or either a fish tank no it was a fish tank in here look at all the Rocks I thought this was a fireplace at first but no this is actually a fish tank go back up here now I usually don't like to jump and hop skip around all my explorers I usually like to film the first floor first second then third but the way this Mansion is laid out I have to do it this way so we're kind of hopping and jump skipping around because this is the closest area I can possibly find to where I was coming through and it just makes sense to do it like this since we're so close you have a crescent moon-shaped sofa look at this beautiful beautiful windows and can imagine this if you were a guest you would stand right here on this patio and just kind of Outlook and Overlook the mountain we have this long hallway that I'm kind of intrigued by are these things even open oh yeah they're open what were these rooms for oh this was the guest rooms yeah she had a massive amount of guest rooms in here look at all this we don't want that to close no no no oh wow this is cool look at all this stuff in here jeez just found another guest room this is cool look at this these guest rooms are absolutely massive in here and the coolest thing about them is you can look out the windows and see all the pretty foliage and inside these rooms or showers this is a closet this leads to outside that's pretty cool I love that what's up with the long hallway so creepy guys look at this this is by far my favorite room upstairs anyway

everything now here it looks like a bar see if we can turn our lights in here what does that say pool table light doesn't come on what about these lights bar okay so you got some lighting in here but it's not a lot looks really cool though looks like a light is kind of burning out up there but this is what we got behind the bar very cool so so cool got your beer on tap and everything oh look at all this look at the gumball machine all this stuff has to be worth crazy amount of money what do we have in here pool table sticks look at that and guess what we have a pool table right there and this is where people used to sing on stage right across from the bar you had this and it looks like to me we had some Collectibles right here by Pepsi today and look you got another one right here

third floor just kind of moving and Ticking along here oh yeah that's the pool area so that's pretty cool least we know where we're at now but as you can see this mansion's very choppy I don't like that but I like it anyway just because it looks so cozy in here that's what I love now what is this room good gracious this Mansion just keeps giving and giving huh doesn't quit whoa do these lights turn on in here one two three oh they do turn on we'll turn those off though I want to turn these on where's the light switch for that uh but this is okay too this is great looks like they have some
