This thread is great.  What beautiful homes you all have. ....I tried to Google Earth mine but the most recent shot was June 2007 and our house was under construction then so not much to see.  But, since I live in BFE, it will probably be 2015 before Google Earth takes another shot.   :rofl;

Okay, Dan.

Go to Google maps. maps.google.com

Type in your address and your will get a satellite view of your address. Zoom in on it.

Then capture a screen shot of it. I don't know how to do that with a PC, but on a Mac you do command, shift 4 and then select the area you want to capture.

Name your picture if you want, then post it. You will have to go to additional options directly below the text window to upload the picture.  :2thumbsup;

Eagerly awaiting a shot of your home.

BTW, you can also do the street view from Google Maps. I didn't bother since there are so many trees in front of our house that you can't really see it. Chris did a street view of his, though. All from Google Maps!  :2thumbsup;

Hell, I could move in with most of you people and bring my own house alone.  It'd probably fit in one of your bedrooms.

I don't know  how to do this but old and little and decrepid as it is I'm not ashamed of it.  My parent bought it in 1950 for $7000 and now they'll give me 350,000 and let me move the house too -- but all I want is my backyard terraze and deck and patio.  Was it Aleta who said she needed landscaping?  And its paid for and I have frozen real estate taxes.  So I ain't ashamed.  Though a more  rational person would me.
Why be ashamed? Its a home, you love it that's all that matters. You have no stress becuase you own it, no mortgage. I'd dearly love to buy our old house that i grew up in. My grandfather bought it but my parents sold it. It's nearly 150 years old now. Double brick, rising damp in all the rooms, small and in a god awful suburb, but i'd still love to own it (some day she sighs.... when i win lotto maybe) it's ugly but i have a lot of sentimental attachment to it.

Chris, Hanify and Aleta, YL your homes look lovely!

Dan.... go to Google and type in your full address (street, suburb, state and country) then use the + sign on the left to zoom in. Hit crtl prt scr and then paste it into paint programme. then you can just delete the areas you don't want and add it to the post.... there is probable a quicker way but that's how i do it

Jen, I was teasing.  I do love it.  Mostly because it is paid for and worth a lot of month (location).  I could have moved years ago but I like it here.  I'd even take Gail in my backyard and talk botony with her.  lol  Joking again.  I can't even spell botony.

Thanks for the instructions.  I'll try it.

House on trash day...the idiot that lives her left the garage door open too.  After Ike (not tree left)  After hot summer (grass looks crappy).  Now how to I get to the back yard?

Sorry, couldn't get the address off and I really have enemies in her with big sticks.  For all I know they could have a bomb.

Ooh. Is that an overlook deck, Del?

Dan, do you mean the cars that drove around? They had these cool cameras on the top taking 360 degree pictures as they drove. I sow one once.

After taking the pics, they took the people out. An awfully big project.

Sorry Dan, i went out for lunch. i just did it the long way by selecting the stuff i didn't want using the sqaure dotted tool in paint and then deleting it. i then selected the bit i wanted and moved it up to the top and then using the little blue dots at the bottom of the page i made the white page with the portion i wanted. OR you could open two paint screens select the bit you want and the copy that section (or cut) and paste to a new paint file and save it and upload.

Hmmm. . . not much to see on mine - tarred rectangle roof and a gravel drive.  No one was home when they took the pics, so not much of interest to see.  Hey, it's paid for!
