* STATS: The Wilsons' home is about 3,500 square feet and sheathed in shingles.
* STORAGE WINDOWS: With no attic, where do the Wilsons put their stuff? Around the edges. It has to do with the windows. Wilson's house has no diagonal windows; they're vertical, cut down into slope of the house. That creates storage space beneath them. "We have our attic storage at ground level," Wilson says.
* A PYRAMID OF ONE'S OWN: "I don't know if I could build this today," Wilson says, but the Henderson zoning people say otherwise. "There isn't something that says you can't build pyramids."
* THINKING ALIKE: When Luxor was going up, Wilson visited the site to talk to its architect, Veldon Simpson, about working on a separate project. "I kidded him that he stole the idea from my house," Wilson says. He notes that unlike his home, Luxor doesn't replicate the exact 52-degree pitch of Cheops. "It's only 32 degrees. For some reason the county wouldn't let him go any steeper."
