At any rate, this 4100 sq ft party palace with a pool will be on the market soon, I expect probably in the $150k range. We are also one hearing away from becoming Texas' first mid-century historic district. That has been a huge battle. The people opposed to it have accused us of everything short of sacrificing babies on our patios. Hopefully we will get the protections and it will help boost the neighborhood. the little green boom-a-rang mod in the above pic also got new owners that are embarking on a complete restoration. So that is one for the win column. Hopefully the party room one will be another one. The craggy wood shown in the pictures of this home (first post) certainly looks like manzanita. In California this is often a throw-away wood because it splits easily and is full of grit that damages saws and drills. [ Edited by: kraken 2011-07-09 21:10 ]
