If I were you I'd finish the courtyard effect with a wall protecting the pool. You don't need to find gators sneaking in there, I hear they like water.:eek: |

Now, if I could get the HOA to finally approve it...... 10 weeks and counting... |
Jim,
I don't have any pictures to add (sorry) that express my idea, so hope I can draw a written picture for you. When my father got sick, we planned for his access into and out of the house. Plus his needs within the house and others here have offered great suggestions regarding that. What we missed was access to the outdoors for him. He wanted to do a little light gardening. If I could have done this, I would have extended the porch areas significantly and put in small raised garden beds at wheel chair height. He could have his tomatoes, his zucchini, flowers etc. What we did was take care of his medical needs - house/bedroom/bathroom. We needed to take care of his ability to access some type of hobby, something he liked to do. If your wife has a hobby, try to build in a way for her do do her lobby for as long as she is able. angela |
no design says "welcome home" like a bungalow.

A couple of the one I live in now. Very similar on the inside, to the one I grew up in.

This is the children's playhouse on the grounds of the Vanderbuilt mansion in Newport, RI. It even has a working fireplace...note that the chimney is out of scale.

Damn it's tough getting old :( Frank Lloyd Wright!! |
You are close, Mark. It is called Fallingwater & it was a Wright designed house, built for the Kaufman family of Pittsburgh. However, it is rural & about 65 miles sw of Pittsburgh. A stunning house, in a stunning location.

By the way...that picture above? That was taken last January. In January, I typically get up in the morning, throw on a bathing suit, and wash my 928 in the driveway barefoot-

Here's a pretty damn nice house in Downey Ca that Joanna and I looked at. It's 2,700 sq ft on a 19k lot.
Built in 1933 but updated in the '90's The bathrooms are period pieces and I would have updated them. Property Media |
