Yah, having it at your house is a, well, interesting experience. I know I've talked to people a million times that say " Your so lucky you get to walk out into your garage and work on the bot. " It actually can be more of a hassle than a help, sure it may "help" in the sense that you can allow your team to work whatever hours needed, but there were only a few days towards the end of week 4-5 that I rarely got to go to bed before 3 and wake up after 8. When its your house, your liable, so you always have to make sure no ones doing anything stupid.
Regardless of all that, it was still a fun experience to have it there and start 1902 in the garage. Unfortunately They sold my house and I had to move. Wendy doesn't have a garage so currently 1902 is also homeless.
I know there are many other home run teams, and I'm sure they all have varying levels of success but make sure for the home owners health, limit the access hours!
