I took this photo of the Santa Monica Mountains this morning from my front door, looking north.

Great photo Lars. We are surrounded by mountains and I love clear winter days when the mountains are dusted with snow but there is none on the ground here in the valley.

At Ferguson's Kitchen & Bath Galllery Clearance Outlet in Pomona I found an Optima II G2432 SCi for $900. It is missing the front panel facia which I see on ebay from time to time for about $115. Don't know the price direct from Miele. Also in about 2 weeks they will get in a La Perla II G2832 SCVi for about $1700 depending on the condition evaluation by the store manager. At Friedman's in Long Beach they have an Excella II G2732 SCi for $1297. Floor price is $1800 but you have to ask for the Craigslist price. I bought a La Perla II G2872 SCVi for $1669 at Standards of Excellence/Premium Appliance Outlet. They have two locations one in Huntington Beach the other in San Diego. PAO is SOE's clearance section. They have Optima II Slimline G1262SCVI18 in stock. Didn't get a price on those since not interested but sure you can get a deal on those. If you are far away from Pacific Sales Outlet in Torrance I would not bother. Their discounts are small on everything particulary Miele. They have an Inspira G2182SCSF for $1150. Snyder Diamomd has a La Perla II G 2872 SCSF for $2k. Salesman claim it has been there less than 6 months.It is in mint condition.Not a huge savings but it is a beauty.

L.A. area soapstone dealer?
Q
Comments (3)
I visited approximately 23,591 granite yards searching for my blue granite, most of which were in the East SFV (I-5 corridor, more or less) and most of which carried soapstone along with marble, granite, etc. I suggest SF Marble & Granite (on SF Road, logically enough) for a wider than typical selection or Marble Unltd in VN for a wide and deep (exotics) selection. I wasn't specifically looking for soapstone but I know I saw it. I also hear that Anaheim is the local granite yard central. Hope that helps. PS I love your name!

Cab. Doors, Drawers in O.C./ L.A. Area Please!

Our new doors and drawer fronts were purchased from Drees. Our cabinetmaker made the purchase, so I'm not sure how they are to deal with. I just know we got what we wanted when it was supposed to be there. Our cabinet finisher said he liked Corona Millworks. No personal experience of mine here, just heresay. The finisher knew his stuff about finishes, so maybe he knows good doors. We got excellent service on some cabinet trim from Raw Doors in the midwest. Of course, the shipping would cost more from them than anyone local in SoCal.

Robo, I hope the rest of your LA visit was great and hopefully not too hot for you. Did you see some of the LA Marathon runners? I had looked at the route and noticed it went right by your friend's neighborhood! Mtn, it was great meeting you today! Mtn and I had breakfast at a cafe right on Venice beach. Perfect weather to sit and chat. Enjoy your stay in LA and the rest of your vacation. Let us know how much you "loved" Disney!

Lars, that picture is a treat to see! As you know we don't have moutains or many hills to speak of. Nice to see the snow on the mountains in LA. Thanks!

Heres another picture, taken the same day with a bit of zoom. The snow lasted two mornings and then was gone.

Very pretty while it was there Lars.
Love the relief with the angle of the shadows showing the contrast.

Our snow seems to be gone as well today.
Hopefully more will come later as we need it to top up the water supply.

What is a beautiful scene. That's the way I like snow -- far away.

Snow is very rare on those particular mountains, and they are sufficiently far away. I like having the view of them from my front door, however. The snow on Big Bear stays much longer, but the mountains there are over 10,000 feet. I can see those if I drive toward downtown or from Ladera Heights, not far from my house.

It's supposed to be in the 70s for the rest of the week here, but I will be in Austin, where it will probably be 15Â° colder.

We've been getting a lot of rain lately, and so I think our drought may be over this season. We've been rationed water, meaning that we can run sprinklers only on Mondays and Thursdays. That's enough to keep my yard green, however.
