Visited my first home today
I built this onto the back of the home in 1978.
(And if you'll tel me how to get the pics out of my iphone, I'll post them. Been at it for 45 minutes and I give up. Using Win7) |

Can't email because I don't have a password. I specifically skipped that step so I wouldn't have that problem. That didn't work.
Can't find the pics even though I have synched the phone. I have no idea where they might be. |

This:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3030024?start=0&tstart=0 says to back up the photos like any other camera device like this: How do I get pictures from my camera to my computer? Once you do what Microsoft says to do you should be able to copy your pictures and see them on your computer.

I haven't lived there since 1980. Ex wife sold it in '87. Same people who bought it are still there. The pool doesn't look too good and the rest is overgrown. I planted those podocarpus from 5 gal. containers and about 1" dia trunks.

Very nice. Has a very strong roman feel to it.

Maybe mediterranean style is more of what I was going for to describe it.
Still looks good.

Well, glad you did that in 1978 and not more recent. I can imagine you with a large mustache, open shirt and bell bottom pants. Perfect fit to the architecture.
![]() Any pics from 78? I have planted some sapling trees as a kid and it is depressing to go back and see them 1+ feet in diameter now. G |

That's kind of weird. That house looks similar to a house my ex wife & I lived in during '78. We also parted ways at the same time & she sold the house the same year your ex did.

Gunite guys didn't show until 3 pm. I was setting the fountain at midnight with my rum and coke. Yes, it is level to this day.

G'day!

Impressive Milt! I can appreciate how proud you feel seeing one of your projects from the good old days.
Podocarpus is one of my top 3 landscape plants. The house I am in now has 25 footers next to it! The architecture style is Spanish but I have also seen the outdoor living area you have called Mediterranean. EDIT: Oh I just saw that is what Aragorn said too....

Nice to see some lawn around the pool. Too many people use rock in spaces like that and it drives me crazy!

In SoCal, we have Mission Spanish, Spanish Colonial Revival and Monterrey. The cut rafters represent Monterrey. The front is SCR as much as anything. Mission has straighter walls with sort of a shaped parapet

Very nice Milt. Man do you have talent. Concrete, houses, cars, fiberglass, welding. Is there anything you can't do?
