It has to be 1966, it cannot be 1964, I know your old Ken, but your not that old..subtlelaugh.gif


1968...It was a model home built by Williams just before he started developing the city of Irvine.  One of the last homes built in that area with raised flooring and crawl space.  Since it was a model home, it came with all of the "California" extras; covered deck, fireplace, super upgraded carpeting and tile, fence, hybrid Bermuda lawn with sprinkler system (in those day, they just threw seed on most lawns), upgraded cabinetry & appliances, redwood deck furniture, wallpaper, upgrade custom paint, finished upstairs "bonus" room, shrubs, flower garden and olive tree.

GI Bill...$200 to move in...then I left for "Nam!!!mistake.gif  Sold it a couple of years later for over $40k...probably a $million home by now!
