Uhhhh... Soooo... Did you carry those trash cans around with you for the photo shoot, or...?

Nice garden for parking that blue car, really makes it pop.

It's like a crazy mad palm scientist lives there doing his experiments in the cover of the lush vegetation.

around here big lavish unfinished houses mean one thing and one thing only, the owner will be back in 10 to 20 years maybe sooner if he's a good boy...or he's a talented singer!!

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

That is strange, unfathomable, and hilarious too.  Wonder what eccentric lives there.  Those washies have been slightly maintained, not being entirely skirted, but it looks like they're just going to bust their boxes and walk off one night!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

A.hem...

Now that I have downloaded more, I know exactly where that house is.  I used to drive by it almost daily when I lived in Spring Valley on my way to work in Vista.  It was a project THEN too.

PS- I moved HERE in 1994!   ???
