I thought that this had been previously mentioned, perhaps in a different thread. Mark Mills willed his total body of work to the archives at Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo. He admired their approach to architecture and their philosophy of teaching and so, thought it an appropriate place for his work to...

Speaking of Laurie Virr: I have not seen a post from him on this site in quite some time. I trust all is well with him. I miss his astute commentary.

Thanks, RG.
Might I have seen it on the small screen, in a commercial perhaps, while Mr. Silver owned it?

Surely, Storer has been used for a film.

The courage, patience and commitment required to undertake a restoration project, particularly a FLLW one, is simply beyond belief.
All who do so are to be commended.

Thank you, Stephen. I was indeed, referring to the Dyson house. It is only about 6 miles from our Fresno house. It is located in an enclave that I was unaware existed. I'm not a Fresno native or even a long time resident, merely a frequent visitor. I should make an effort to find all of the Dyson wo...

Not too good. What's going on?

I agree, Tom. May she rest in peace.

J.Meyers, Thank you very much for the detailed description of your methodology. Our Sierra winters are not unlike your winter conditions except probably not as cold. Freeze/thaw is a major problem throughout the season with frequent midwinter warm periods. Our grades are straight and gradually slope...

J Meyers, What is the gauge of the Cor-ten? Did you "dress" the edges of the strips after shearing? The look very clean. Is that an edge of filter fabric I see at the Cor-ten strip? Is it intended to keep soil from infiltrating the rock bed? All questions pertain to a driveway condition th...

Of course, the architects bear the primary responsibility. But, didn't ANYBODY notice the omission? .....beyond belief!
