damn thelow income place looks NICE. small but nice. now hte upper tier home didnt it have a lap pool? in front there ( or back) i could have sworn i saw one in your preliminaries :cheers: cant wait to see both of those finished.
Yep, the lap pool is the lavender stripe in the foreground (the back of the house). The nearer half is a pool, then you might notice the bottom slopes upward to become a reflecting pool toward the part farthest from viewpoint.
Those low income townhouses are 1200-1600sf! The house is 17,000sf...and cost more to build than the housing by 3x...

same place as always...tree wallpaper in living room (and my office-not shown).

you remembered right. Its Cole & Son wallpaper (from UK).
cars are on rotation, lol. I got rid of my G35 couple years ago when the economy tanked. Turns out the car payment was also the extra we had to pay monthly to send Leo to the preschool we wanted (vs the one he was in). So there you go. Got a 4dr Mazda 626 in the interim, which I HATE. Late this year when Leo starts kindergarten I'll sell the 626 and buy an M5 (2000-2003 e39 model). The Miata is a new purchase as of January and is a track toy only. Wife still has the Volvo XC90, that wont change.
I thought about putting pma-architect.com on the Miata. still might...definitely wont on the street car.
It looks like a bust of Homer Simpson wearing a necklace with his head turned to the side.
Well it pays the bills so promote it Eh?
one version of the aforementioend cole and sons paper. i have a hallway abotu 18ft long. would love to have it on both walls. BUT the stuff is horrendsouly expensive. so unless i hit the powerball it aint happening
(http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s162/radeondt/apartment3.jpg)
interesting, i would just open the door. i see to many trees to have them as wallpaper. looks kind of neat tho.
its expensive but if you use it sparingly its not bad and the bang-for-your-buck is greeat. My install is about 18 feet or so on two walls. Yes, its not cheap in terms of relative cost for wallpaper, but you get what you pay for.
Oh yeah, last weekend:

I'm casually searching for an autox car and a miata towards the top of the list. Can't beat the price, handling, and reliability.
I'd love an S2000, but more than I want to spend for now. Came across a porsche 914 for $5k the other day, but I don't know too much about them. An old RX-7 could be had for cheap too... But for now I'll keep running my dd mazda3.

I considered the s2k too. They have more power, but are also heavier so you go through more brake pads, tires, etc. And those cost more for the s2k. You'll go faster on track with one compared to a Miata (most likely) but you'll have just as much fun in the Miata, and the s2k's cost a whole lot more overall. I paid $3k for my Miata and it was already track ready, including spare wheels. Sold those and bought lighter wheels for $440 a set (less $250 for the ones I sold)...for 12lb, 15x8 wheels! I had to replace the radiator with a 2-row racing aluminum unit ($250) and bought front lip/rear spoiler ($250 combined) and thats it. When I bought it I parked it till I took it to the track. Then I discovered what it needed and upgraded it. The car is cheap as chips! Huge aftermarket support especially with the Spec Miata race series. I hear the rx-7's are equally cheap to run. Only issue is the rotary. That I cant fix myself in the carport like I can this thing. No idea on 914s.

they call those low income townhouses, " low income" what are you saying, or what would be low income for someone to live in that?, each bldg looks like it has maybe 4 apartments in it. to be 1600ish ft/sq. details? i still love going through your site, and looking at the finished work. i will if heath improves get my ID degree. perhaps one day in future we will work together on something.
Yep, each building has about 4 units, give or take. the front center building has 4, 2 stacked on 2. These are the flats. Except for one other instance of stacked units the others are all 2 story units without top or bottom neighbors, only party walls.
These are government assisted programs. To qualify the first is income of $17,700 or $28,900 for a family of 4. This is two categories, Extremely Low Income and Very low income. The ELI families might pay $400 rent, the rest being subsidized by the Non-Profit housing corporation (my client). Others in the building not falling under Extremely Low Income might pay more.
There is a waiting list for these. Families have to apply and get approved based on income. The income levels are based on percentages of the median income for the county they're in (Los Angeles County in this case) and comes directly from HUD.
Wow. to be selected and get in, THOSE are nice, and this is without seeing inside. something that large in square footage, gotta be nice
back in the days when pablo went streamlined in his clothing
