Avocados! And bk's back yard!

Here is the last picture viewed from living room. I exceeded the memory limit on the last one. Detached garage is seen on the left with white doors via a 125' long driveway.

That?s a sweet yard Bk!

Spacious and roomy, I really like the hardscape.

The hammock is a nice touch as well.

If I send out invite to a limited specific number of people including you then by the process of elimination we can pin point your identity?

Sure why not.

If I like the area, we might even be neighbors.

Is the house next door for sale?

We?d make a great team.

OMG! Stop it with the name calling. What has gotten into you? I think your hatred for avocados is grounds for teh ban. :gulp:</blockquote>


I, too, used to detest avocados. Something happened to me as I got older and my tastes changed. Now I can't get enough of them. I LOVE my avocado, cheese, cucumber and tomato sandwiches on wheat. Sooo yummy!!!</blockquote>


As a kid I too hated Avocados. But with adulthood. Tastes change. You have not lived until you have an "Chasu Avocado Taco". Sliced Barbecue Pork Loin, Tomatoe, Avocado, Lettuce, Teriyaki sauce in a tortilla.

Rarely do the homes come up the market. Nancy Grace and I checked regularly before finding this one. We are spoiled in this neighborhood where there are no 2 homes alike. The homes currently listed need a lot of work. As you can see I am trying to discourage you from buying. The yard is way too big and here is a picture of the no man's land behind the 4 car tandem garage:

I'm having a hard time picturing what a 4 car tandem garage looks like. Does it look like a scaled down version of this:

Very funny! Here is a car that will fit that:



<img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1303/1302484028_fd752595a6.jpg?v=0" alt="" />



The front portion of the garage houses 2 cars then the back of the garage that houses the 3rd and 4th in tandem position right behind the first 2 cars is shown in the picture way to the right in a reseeding scale and massing. The first window is the side of the first 2 cars. You can see a second window along the sloping roof line. The plate is very low toward the back of the garage about 5'. The scale is cottage like. The tandem portion is separated by an interior wall currently so it is now a home office with a barn door or a guest casita someday.

You?ve got the room.

Why don?t you go with a pool?

Then we can throw a real party.

Just like the pool at the Palms

The pool filter would get clogged with leaves and fallen avocados.

You're right that avocado tree is overrated.

A sweet pool would be much better.

Something like this in Bk?s backyard would be ill

Here is a much better picture of the avacado tree in BK's backyard.

<img src="http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q87/webgerl/P1010004-1.jpg" alt="" />
 
wow, this sure is a popular thread. BK's tree makes mine look like a wimp, but it was nice to see that it had two trunks. I have another one that is about 15 feet tall, but it is two trunks not very wide in diamater yet and hasn't fruited yet.



Thanks to IR for the tip on picking with the stem. How do you know when they are ready to be picked? Many of mine fell off, so we tossed them. They never looked ready to be picked. I picked one last week and put it in the window sill to see if it would ripen up. They just seem much harder and greener than the unripe ones you buy in the store.



I have at least 60 more still on the tree. At one point there were hundreds, but they fell on the ground, most of them half eaten by a critter of some sort. Cayci, we're around this weekend if you and Graph want to come pick some. I like avocados, especially with a little salt and a dollop of olive oil and vinegar... red wine, jerez or balsamic. My husband on the other hand does not, not even guacomole so it would be great if some of these went to someone who really likes them.
 
You guys should take them to one of those little roadside stands and sell them. They fetch a nice price at the store these days. It's like having a money tree.

I can't swim. I was almost drown when I was 8. I was playing in a uphill circular tunnel above ground. It was about 4-1/2' diameter and about 600 foot long. Not knowing it was a storm drain culvert that collected water from a 5,000 acre hillside I went up 1/2 way while it was dried but a tropical rain dump way too much water and I nearly died in the retention lake after I was washed out. The area I learned later was named "Haunted Soul Lake" by the locals. I have stayed away from water ever since.

I got a decent place in Vegas with a pool and spa. Bring over some cuties in bikinis and you are invited.

Sorry to hear that.

Glad everything worked out and you managed to escape the storm drain alive.

Of course, the pool is out.

I?ll try and come up with some other ideas for your backyard.
