Truly an impressive piece of work. Thank you again for creating this and sharing it with all of us.Pahonu wrote:Glad you were all able to get a look at it. It's still a work in progress, as you might have noticed. Some areas are well detailed, others less so, and some not at all. It all depends on what I and you guys have been able to track down in terms of pictures of the actual interior. The only spots on the exterior that are still uncertain are the service porch next to the garage in the rear, the corner of the main house behind the second floor lanai by the water, and the gate house opposite the driveway.
Another neat tool is "section plane". Click on that, go to the top side of the ceiling of any room, and click it. It will slice off everything above that and you can look down in at the floor plan. The whole space will make more sense that way.
I must say, it's really neat to see the gatehouse building without all the foliage cover. You really never get a good look at the structure in the show. It's really a beautiful little building. I could totally live there.
And what a thrill it is to see the backside of the main house. Again, hardly ever see it in the show! This is where I'd put the bank of grills and smokers.
Never knew this little lanai existed!
Thanks James for posting these pics and a BIG thanks to you Pahonu - GREAT WORK!
Hey James, Take a look at a few aerial shots that are out there of the estate and you will see the lanai you mentioned under a tarp. Other pics show it revealed and what looks to be refinished. There is also another lanai on the second floor, but at the other end.....oceanfront.
