I am starting a new thread that is about other threads. You can talk about other discussions taking a place in Archinect and make cross references to a particular link, picture, response and whatever else you deem necessary or entertaining or thought provoking about the other thread. thus the name: Thread Central
here are some examples of comments that comes to mind:
* hey did you read on --------- thread ------- thinks frank gehry is good. hahahaharhar..
or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.
or,
* this is the best thread.. fuck the others..
or,
*****Thread Alert******
read the -----thread yet??? there is a dog fight going on between ----- and-----.it is about gondolas and pollution in Venice..see you there.
or,
* yeaah, i don't read that thread either. its kind a boring.
or,
*i am thinking about starting a discussion about ------------- ---- ---- will you guys in Thread Central post in it and say wow it a great thread?. it was about time 'somebody' (insert my name please) picked up on it.. and discuss it?
like whatever..

HAHAHAHA he used his own bathroom fixtures for duravit... hahahaha douchebag.
That bathroom is hideous. The interior spaces look quickly done, as though he didn't pay complete attention--I note some random soffit-ing (my biggest pet peeve) and odd speaker placement... I don't like the ceiling beams or whatever those are, and the kitchen was just completely not thought out at all... HOWEVER I do like the white stripe. Paint-as-wainscotting.
Just seems like a real quickie job... like he slapped some paint around, spec'd his plumbing fixtures, and walked off with the fee.

Hummm…I like the clean exterior, but that kitchen layout sucks. And where is the kitchen ventilation? Maybe it's hiding somewhere behind the oven. If not, just open all the windows when the wife starts burning dinner. I like the back yard patio area but it kind of reminds me of some sort of wedding reception area :)

i first saw this house while walking the dogs (seems like i go thru a lot when walking dogs. true).
tina was with me and i said "hey look at this flipper with a venturi touch". tina said "crap". then i took it apart for her and we decided it was one of the better planned developments in the neighborhood and probably it was done by a ucla prof or something.
following week i saw the real estate ad with it and we found out what it was.
after seeing the pics of interiors, tina said "it is crappy inside too. so surface oriented. a sure flipper renovation with no depth".
flipping houses was a very profitable practice in los angeles up until few mounths ago. of course if ps is your friend and gave you a napkin sketch and managed the rest with telephone calls, you have additional 2-300K's in the tag. i later found that the owners was french and friends of ps.
it doesn't look like a hardass project and you can tell that it is no big budget either. it is clean like AP pointed and certainly one of the 'taste' oriented remodels in the neighborhood with qualities pretty much common in a typical los angeles above avarage residential practice. it does have few signature touches of the celebrity designer on the exterior like finials on the roof. it is like a one liner and seems that you can get tired of it pretty fast. maybe that is why ps is successful on temporary experience building types like hotels and clubs etc.
you know french are the best in the world doing spectacular events.
except, occasionally some italian poet reminding them drama was a westward moving art form and it does take some trials and errors to master it.

these plants i've saved from trash bin and some from 99cent store. really proud.

o yeah. i wish i had the pictures of cabbages, cauliflowers, beans, tomatoes, peppers, sunflowers, roses, watermelons, eggplants, zucchinis, onions, lettuce and more i've grown as a kid.
i've grown good marijuana and opium poppies as an adult. i would have a pet silkworms from the mulberry tree every year too living in a shoe box eating mulberry leaves in elementary school. i value the plants' life as much as animals'.
i've done duck hunting and a lot of fishing too (always ate what i hunted). go figure.

fuckers are so happy turning out a new tranny a day on each bay. not to mention clutch and brake jobs and engine work too. very high turn around on mechanics too. pepe is gone again under pressure. the new owner is a wheelchair guy that runs a very profitable biz. if he fires rafa too, i am going to come hard on aamco for occasionally parking in our spots which i've been tolerating.

Congrats to French!
Also glad that the intern situation is at least in a better place, if not resolved.
I thought I knew who SuperWonder was when they first appeared but then they said something that completely threw me off because it couldn't apply to the person I thought it was.
Back from up north. 42-0. I expected no less against winless Stanford, but after last week realize that nothing's a gimme. Have WAYYYYY to much work to do.
