The exterior was redwood and rock. (I may be biased, but I honestly believe it was one super special, very cool house!)</p><p><br /></p><p>The new owners have covered the <b>entire thing</b> in beige vinyl siding (!!!) ... <u>and</u> the <i>huge, </i>custom Andersen picture windows now have brown plastic shutters attached next to them! Holy you-know-what!</p><p><br /></p><p>Why the %$@# would anyone buy a true MCM house &amp; desecrate it like that??? I&#039;m just wondering if they&#039;ve removed &amp; trashed all of the hand blown, Venetian glass light fixtures... I&#039;ll bet they&#039;ve either painted over or ripped out most of the woodwork, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is, when it isn&#039;t YOURS, you simply can&#039;t control what happens to it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
