It would be nice if they were colored like in East Asia. In South Korea, they seem to be mostly blue. Other countries, I've seen both orange and green. These are dirt-colored.

trymahjong Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 I remember first being invited inside this house in 2006 for a meeting concerning historic designation. Took so long to organize neighbors to begin the process and irony of irony- this house changed owners and didn't get included. It's not easy for those memories to pop up as I watch it transform. sigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better would be if they'd chosen some less significant hapless building on which to inflict their inept renovation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I bet no one would eat a hot dog, sausage or cold cuts if you saw how it was made. It's a work in progress, I always prefer to wait till the finished product is presented. 😳🌭🥪 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 But hot dogs and cold cuts are still basically trash foods. This just seems like a waste of this building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if part of the procedure involves gouging one of the patient's eyes out, or inverting the nose, I'd have reservations. It seems possible that the results might be peculiar and unattractive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone wants to know what I mean: https://www.nps.gov/tps/standards/treatment-guidelines-2017.pdf Its the Secratary of the Interiors Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. I don't think this house is listed as a "historic" building, but these standards can be applied to ones not listed Federal, State, or local. What shocks me is the the elimination of windows on the front facade. One can understand eliminating windows on a secondary or rear facade for the sake of whatever new use you are incorporating, but whether one is redoing anything historical or not, to do what they are doing on the front facade is straight up dumb. Look I don't have the as-builts, or whatever drawings they had to create during field measurements, but there is no way this was the best and only option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATaphorn Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 These guys stink. This nice hostel has been turned into an eyesore for almost 2 years. They already stressed one of these live oaks enough to kill it, and now they are piling their construction debris on the critical root zones of the other heritage trees on site. I have reported them to the City Forester in the past but seeing this everyday is infuriating. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are going to shield the kitchen vents from view by covering the railing, will post when I see what they do, I live within walking distance of this. It used to be my precinct location for voting when it was the hostel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
