Hello everyone. I am in need of some help. A few days ago while cruising the internet looking for FLLW content I haven't seen before (I am running out, LOL), I came across what I remember as home movies of Mr. Pappas or Mr Tracy building his house. Can anyone share some light on what this may have b...

Peter, I was in Banff last weekend and sadly nothing is taking place. I believe flwromanza was having issues with the town of Banff committing to go ahead with the project. We live 7 hours away from Banff and would love to see the project go forward but alas I do not think it will happen.

Michael, you will enjoy this group. I have been a member for many years, mostly just as a reader not a contributor. I am not sure there is a group of people out there more knowledgeable about FLLW than those right here.

Wow, thanks for the offer Jamesp. I am sure many of the fine folks on this board will have some questions for you and I can't wait for the replies from your Grandmother. As well if you can share any recent interior photos of the house or historic photos I know I would be thrilled. If you need help p...

I bought my signed numbered copy of the print a while back. I am not sure the building will ever become a reality but being 8 hours away from where I live I thought I should at least buy a print.

Excellent work!
I can't wait to see it finished.

It appears that they use the E14 Euro base so at most you are saying buy a E14 base bulb for 120V?

Ward

Beautiful!!
On their site it shows 240V, do you need to rewire it or were they able to wire it for you?

Mod mom, we had the Thermador 30" all fridge column and loved it. It did mean that we had to get the Sub Zero freezer drawers but the fridge worked awesome and would definitely purchase another one. We did have two teenage boys at home though so the fridge was always full. Now that it is just t...

Mod mom, our last kitchen reno involved a product that was called Soapstone Granite. It is a granite that looks like soapstone. We had it finished in a honed finish so it was not as shiny. We had most of the beauty of soapstone without any of the negatives. We absolutely loved it. Although not FLW h...

Thanks. It does sound weird and I will not worry about it. I thought it shared more with Willey.
Thanks!!

Does anyone have a plan or drawing of the Robert C. Miller house drawn in 1942. The only reference I can find on the site is "The Dr. and Mrs. Robert C. Miller House, 1942, a lovely brick house in the Willey mode with garden walls, in Fremont, (unbuilt because the Dr. was drafted); " in re...

Matt, it would have been interesting to see Jacobs when it was first built and landscaped with no other houses around it. When built I believe Jim said you could see off the terrace down over the hill, a view now obstructed by white boxes. The land around Jacobs was developed after it was built, a f...

Tom, I don't see where you are saying that the handle or screen door were changed/altered since the video. To my eye it looks exactly the same. What am I missing?

Can anyone tell me what wood the walls in the bedrooms are skinned with? It looks like redwood but I am not sure. As well, is the color on those walls achieved ONLY through age or is there a way to speed up the process? I am not sure I have enough years left to have walls age naturally to that beaut...
