Re: Somethings wrong with my new driveway!Well let's see. The road area is flat. The area at the end of the road looks flat. The woods at the end of the road and to the right, wrapping around the last house, look lower than the road. So either the houses are on ground built up by man, or the road is on ground graded lower by man, and in either case the resulting slope between the 2 is man-made. |

This could have been fixed easy. The whole neighborhood. |

said by james16:I could see your point if I posted with terms like "pixelation" and "colour curves", but saying that the picture was made out of pixels was about as silly and obvious as I could get! Hell, I would have believed anything you posted!! You said you had an expert opinion, so I was ready to learn. That's how truly dumb I am about digital stuff.... And yeah, I gotta hand it to you for putting one back on the other "experts".  |

Well, on other pictures provided by maxpower:
there's a unique tree that lines up in the original and the second pictures... looks kinda like a light green sail. The third picture, however, is completely different; notably, a two-car garage instead of a three-car, the house on the left, the bare tree on the left (in the second picture, the trunk splits in two), and the grass growing in on the left side. We are at least dealing with 2 different houses, photoshopped or no. I'd like to know where maxpower got his/her photos from? |

said by 61999674:I have a comment about the house design .. What drugs were house designers on when they thought having the garage as the focal point of the house was a good idea ??? I see a lot of this. This happened as the car became king. I live in a 1910's neighborhood, and all the garages are in the back. You can see them coming to the front in the 40's and 50's. That's what people wanted. You didn't want to drive your car all the way to the back of your house. It uses up a 8' wide piece of land all down the side of your house. |

I made them myself with mspaint. Photshop is way too hard and $$$ to use. I joke, I got them from another website. It was a while ago so I couldn't tell you exactly which one. |

The solution here is obvious... Form and pour some walls below the existing garage, make THAT the new garage, and use the existing garage as living space. Ta-da! |

It is different, so what are you getting at? I don't believe anyone meant it to be the same houses as the first two... |

There is a house at the bottom of the mountain here, with a 250' winding driveway that's as steep as this, but a LOT longer and NOT straight, but winding S curves going up to the house. The house itself is built on a steep slope. There is another house 1/4 mile from that one which is also an engineering nightmare of a driveway. You could swear the whole house is going to fall off the cliff.
But these developed housing projects should be better designed than what these photos show. |
