BTW, forum member Pahonu has finished his 3D model of the Estate. I've added it to the Robin's Nest page. It's really, really well done and incredibly accurate.
"Finished" is such a complex word. It is not really finished, but I believe I am finished with it! It only needs about 1000 or more trees and bushes so, excepting some masochistic streak on my part, I guess it is finished, James.
Thanks for the compliments, also.

Hey JJ - just saw your questions on Robin's Nest - it's certainly fine to park across the street from the Anderson Estate. Better still, head 100m past the Estate and the beach park, get out for a quick walk to the tidal pool, then cut back to take pics of the gate to the Estate! That was our plan anyway...
I can't figure out what tree it is but it's massive an goes over the street so you really can't miss it.
Not sure about the buildings in Shriner's either but they look 'newer' than everything else around it...
Lastly - if you hire a car like we did, your GPS should have "Magnum PI's House" book marked as a destination - ours did!
Wow, great find Sam. I never saw any pictures showing the back with the lanai's either. Are those pictures from HF-O also? I have been trying to catch more and more reruns of the original and angles and interior shots of The Estate (when used) we hadn't seen. I just watched one recently that had a shot from a helicopter landing on the grounds.............
I found the picture of the lanai's on Flickr.If you look closely you can see the junk,I was tempted to call it Robins Mess.The picture was taken from the ridge above the estate.
.There is this picture from Thomas on Islands that shows the back lanai but it's covered and I never gave it much thought.It appeared to be something on the roof.I haven't seen the helicopter episode yet...Go Vikings.

If you look at the largest size of the picture at least you can make out a worker at the side of the pickup truck amongst "Robin's Mess". Maybe our Lady Anderson is finally getting some much needed fixin' up done............

You have to unzip the .skp file first. The download includes a text file describing the model and the actual Google SketchUp file (.skp). You have to use the .skp file within Google SketcUp, not the bundled .zip file.
Nice job on both counts Sam. That's the first time I've seen both lanais. It looks like they've had the roof replaced too. I'm sad to see the darker color go. But I'm sure they are appreciating the new roof if the old one was leaking.
A while ago I found photos of the Estate from a similar angle. The following are all from the same album, but I'll link to each one because they're spread out: one two (dogzilla!) three four five six seven
