Extra credit if anybody can guess where this house is.

It's Helen Keller's house in Monrovia, California.

I guess those signs on the front say. (Caution Hot Paint)

Hey I like the Mexicolor! I'm tired of off white buildings everywhere. Bring it on. My house uses all those (although not in the same place). Looks like a place in Rosarito Beach midway between the Powerplant and the Dock. Dare I post my colorful house pic? Nah- I still can't figure out how to do it.

Nena just told you how to do it. Get out your Crayons and start painting us a picture.

I like Mexican pastels; those are a little sharp. Kinda like a bad acid/kinder nightmare.

I used to go surfing north of the jetties there all the time. You could just drive right up back then.


Mine are the full-on google colors. The guy at home depot looks at me sideways when he sees how much tint he has to add to the base paint get the color that deep (primary)
