La Grange??

After reading your posts, that ZZ Top song finally makes sense to an eastern guy like me. Although the beat of La Grange by ZZ Top sounds a little like Fried Hockey Boogie by Canned Heat to me.

Now your talking! Where's my paisley shirts? In 73 I was sitting wells in that neck of the woods and I still recall the story a guy who ran a service station told me about taking his 17 year old son to the Chicken Ranch for an introduction to life in the raw....I laughed so hard I nearly choked. It was one of those tales that could never be told by a third party...you had to hear it from the old man himself.

G-man
Yer confessing to a mortal USPAP sin....what bravery. In my narratives I only provide a street scene if I need a pix to come out even 3,6,9 photos. If I have only one "hanging chad" photo, I might even add a cartoon. Anyone else put cartoons in their reports?

A friend of mine once went out and shot a bunch of land shots and street shots as he did ranch land and rural properties. That way if he missed getting the "street" shot or a land shot didn't come out, he'd just grab a shot and drop it in. After all, one kaliche road with scrub trees and mesquite looks like another, as does most land in the area.

Have a great weekend.

A little story.

Two years after the appraisal, the homeowner called to complain that the street picture was not of his street. A little dirt road out in the middle of nowhere and among dozens of other dirt streets. He claimed he matched up the trees on each side and the electric pole and it didn't match. It was done by a trainee I had that I really trusted and didn't believe he would have have done that.

A couple of weeks later, I took the copy of the report, (this was back in film picture time so it was a copy machine copy of a photo and the negative), and it appears that the picture was developed reversed. Turned the negative around and it matched.

Moral of the story: Most homeowners get a copy of the report. They KNOW what their street looks like.

create a photo file for "typical" street scenes in summer and winter and in between. dirt road, paved road, take it in the late evening . Never got a complaint as long as "typical" was somewhere on the page.

I'm just curious, what did you take a picture of? I try to capture a portion of the driveway or the mail box and shoot away from the sun. The area/street is what it is. It should be a no brainer. I'm glad you have a lot of support
from this group on why this is such a pain to redo but show us the money!
