Pool Blogging!<\/b><\/p>\n

Well friends, the job in the desert has begun. Whoo boy, has it ever…<\/p>\n

First off, something fun. As I was driving into town on Palm Canyon Drive, craning my neck around taking in all the new businesses, I noticed an ugly brown pickup. Okay, maybe “ugly” is too harsh. How about filthy?<\/p>\n

Yep, Dad was two cars ahead of me in traffic. At a random time. In a random spot. Why should I call him to get directions to the jobsite? I could just follow!<\/p>\n

By the way, the jobsite was at the Kuckoo House!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think their motto is “I never met an angle I didn’t like!” The facade that you see above in plywood will eventually covered in galvanized sheet metal. No paint, just shiny.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let’s see, it’s a roughly 800 square foot house over two lots with a semi-attached guest house and a goony artist’s studio. Total? Maybe 1,500 square feet or so. Non-continuous, but I’m sure the next buyer will see the value in it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It must be an art piece. Somebody’s glory. The calls must be in to the home and garden magazines as we speak (type, whatever. sue me.) How about this headline?<\/p>\n

Service Station Chic Meets High Art! A Designer’s Tour d’Exxon…<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You editors can have that for free. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n

More later (on a much cooler house).<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n

bob<\/p>\n

More Funny: Should I ask the owner for the keys to the restroom? Will he think that’s funny? (maybe after Dad’s been paid, eh?)<\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
