Do you know that I've spent the past year and a half looking for this very house in Chico, CA?? I had a buyer who was INSISTENT on this EXACT style... if only they made these in Chico! Did I miss the price?
Gena - Come to think of it . . .my husband did take a picture of him. I need to run down the picture and maybe write a blog about Lars, himself. He has a very fascinating background for those that enjoy architecture.
Lisa -Thank you for your comment. It's on the back door of our MLS system. I can input up to 16 pictures and subtitle them. I did a copy and paste. When I put them on AR, they changed appearance somwhat and aren't as perfectly even as they were. One of the oddities, I guess. Between a professional photographer that I hire to take pictures and our own digital pictures we take immediately . . .we usually come up with some nice, representative pictures of our homes. Have a great week!
Gena - I probably need to do some further research on him before writing about him. Maybe I could interview him . . . .we'll see. It's on my list of things to do.
Thank you for all your wonderful input and help that you have given me. I do greatly appreciate it.
