GrizzLee Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I went out to get the paper this morning and I had a vision of what my house would look like when I repainted it this summer. Waddya think? I have to discuss it with the misses first -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I think your neighbors will be hating you by the time it's done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzLee Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 BTW: That is a digital image of me getting my morning paper. If you look closely, you'll see I have bed hair and the 5 o'clock shadow on my face -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 You should consider putting in some Cape Cod shingling so that you get a little woodgrain action just to complete the aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Do you think it's too subtle? I mean, would people drive past and not see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARI TROLL Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 All you would need now is a car made entirely out of 01 COMBATS (Trans Am) get it......Combat Cannonball Run-LOL The picture rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I think that would seriously violate some of the house painting codes in some of the more anal-retentive Cleveland suburbs. Reminds me of the light-green-and-yellow house that was along the highway here in the city. We called it the Sweet Pickles House .

pmpddytim Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Pretty cool. I see one problem though. Many youngsters will not be familiar with the atari logo, just notice the rainbows, and think that its a gay pride house! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I better make sure it doesn't look like any of the Muslim Countries flags either. I could be questioned by the department of Homeland Security. They may think the fuji symbol is a secret code and the Space Invader is a symbol of an American infidel that must be destroyed. I think I may have to re-consider. -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iloserman Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 I like the controller on the chimney a subtle but funny look, Naw, most people would know the Atari symbol, wether they have played an atari, or listen to the group. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Waddya think? I have to discuss it with the misses first I'm sure you and your wife love each other, but before you show her that photo you'd better be absolutely certain she'll never want to have you locked away somewhere. Judge: And what proof do you have that you should be given power of attorney over your husband? Oh, I see....request granted! j/k That's a pretty funny pic. I especially like the invaders on the garage doors. I'm going to be refinishing my basement/gameroom in a year or two and have seriously considered doing a similar design in the floor tiles. (also have not discussed this with the wife) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooo late.. She already wants me locked away Your comments about the floor tiles are too CLOSE too home. While my detached garage (which you see in the picture) was under construction, I discussed putting the Intellivision man in the tile work to the entry way and space invaders and such in the fireplace tile and by the rear slider. The granny loft you see, is my gameloft. My wife vetoed me. Not only did she say NO!... It was HELL NO!! At least I got to pre-wire it for surround sound and put all the network drops in. Otherwise it is finished out in traditional trim and paint. I do have all my Atari posters, art, kiosks displayed nicely in there. It is truly my home away from home. My son and I spend alot of time out there and my wife has here house back It is a good trade off. Now I must remodel thwe old garage for her sewing room -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 It's missing some landscaping. I think you need the Atari equivalent of the Apple Icon Garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Apple's Icon Garden was exactly what I was thinking of! A Berzerk robot, a Yar, and Pitfall Harry on the lawn. That would look great. If your wife won't let you 'enhance' the front exterior of the house, what about doing something with the backyard, for 'the kid's sake'? Have a contractor build a clubhouse for the kids shaped like a giant Heavy Sixer. Or like the castles and mazes from Adventure. At least build them a jungle gym, like on the cover of Data Age's Sssnake. http://www.atariage.com/box_page.html?Soft...&ItemTypeID=BOX Complete with a giant snake for authenticity, of course.
