Take a Photographic Tour of the House

It's a pretty nice and unusual Hacienda style house built in 1948, with a remodel add-on done in '97/'98, and it sits on 2/3rds of an acre. We moved in on Halloween of 1998. Some interesting features of the house are the odd angles (it follows the contour of the hillside), the truss beams of the ceilings, and the beautiful views from every room. We love it.

So come in and take a look around - you won't disturb us. But make sure you take off your shoes first, and don't scratch the furniture!

We've undertaken the huge task of re-roofing the house ourselves. The contractor that did the remodel really butchered the roof and caused a couple of severe leaks (further proof that building inspectors are an incompetent and useless drain on society). So, as firm believers in the notion that a job only gets done right if you do it yourself, we're doing just that. We started in August of 2000 and we'll be posting the year of completion when it arrives! Here's a few pictures of the ongoing process. Although it will be some time before all the tiles are back in place, it is now completely watertight at least.
