Sellers subsequently informed them he could design \u201csomething better\u201d and, in 1969, built them a futuristic, family-centric abode they&#8217;ve occupied ever since. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFifty-three years of living in now famous Dave&#8217;s &#8216;something better than a two-story Colonial&#8217; has been living in a sculpture that really makes sense and has been a
