We found two prefabricated houses built 100 years apart! A &lt;a href="http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/byimage.htm"&gt;Sears, Roebuck &amp;amp; Co.&lt;/a&gt; catalog home completed in 1908 and the other a &lt;a href="http://www.mkd-arc.com/"&gt;Michelle Kaufman Designs&lt;/a&gt; modular home completed in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/index.htm"&gt;Sears, Roebuck &amp;amp; Co.&lt;/a&gt; started selling prefabricated homes to Americans in 1908.  A family could purchase all the necessary hardware, materials and plans to build a home for themselves. This model, &lt;a href="http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/1908-1914.htm"&gt;Modern home No. 124&lt;/a&gt;, was delivered in pieces to &lt;a href="http://cityofpetaluma.net/"&gt;Petaluma&lt;/a&gt; by railroad in 1908. It came from the first catalog of Modern Homes released by Sears and the bathroom was an upgrade. The homeowner has restored the home to its original beauty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mkd-arc.com/"&gt;Michelle Kaufmann Designs&lt;/a&gt; (MKD) was founded in 2002 in California; the company offers the general public modular, eco-friendly and sustainable homes. This model, &lt;a href="http://www.mkd-arc.com/homes/breezehouse/"&gt;The Sunset® Breezehouse™&lt;/a&gt;, like all MKD homes was built in a factory off site in cube like sections. Then it was shipped to &lt;a href="http://www.ci.lafayette.ca.us/"&gt;Lafayette&lt;/a&gt; by truck and assembled by a team on site with a crane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eco-friendly upgrades have replaced options like bathrooms. Railroads no longer reach small towns and the Internet has replaced paper catalogs. But all in all the concept of prefabricated homes hasn’t changed much in 100 years. Americans can still order prefabricated family homes and customize it to fit their lifestyle; the major difference is sticker price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Modern Home No. 124 in 1908 cost about $3,000.00 (with bathroom upgrade)&lt;br /&gt;The Sunset Breezehouse  in 2008 cost about $300,000.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.birdmaninc.com/Birdmanblog/06-10-09_blog_image.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4864508496819598916-1105469637591998085?l=birdmaninc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://birdmaninc.blogspot.com/feeds/1105469637591998085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4864508496819598916&amp;postID=1105469637591998085' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4864508496819598916/posts/default/1105469637591998085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4864508496819598916/posts/default/1105469637591998085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://birdmaninc.blogspot.com/2009/06/birdman-pre-fabulous-homes.html' title='Birdman &quot;PRE-FABulous&quot; Homes'/><author><name>BirdMan Inc</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10562609715220270016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_oMsdZ8OMOhs/SA-dQUbRlvI/AAAAAAAAABs/5lVeJkL5hVg/S220/We+are+Birdman_sm.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864508496819598916.post-8471291366004473537</id><published>2009-05-13T15:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T11:32:43.878-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Locations'/><title type='text'>Birdman Slides Into Summer</title><content type='html'>Summer brings us warmer weather, barbeque's and visits to favorite cool down spots.

This 121,000 square foot authentic fortress with its half a dozen towers, great hall, chapel, four floor deep wine cellar, torture chamber and vast courtyard is tucked into the rolling hills just south of Calistoga. You feel a world away pulling up the winding drive and once inside centuries seem to fade away leaving visitors awestruck by its magnificence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Completed in 2007 after 14 years of careful planning, construction, artesian craftsmanship and attention to detail, the castle has a very genuine look and feel. The moat, drawbridge, meurtrieres (slits in the castle wall originally used for shooting arrows at invaders), flying buttress, piazza and grand loggia all add to the overall realism created within the castle walls.  The 171-acre site has a small lake with an island, 30-acre vineyard, wine testing lab, wooded paths, small village market and a medieval looking water tower providing plenty of variety for photo production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.birdmaninc.com/Birdmanblog/04-06-09_blog_image.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4864508496819598916-2024173606948319790?l=birdmaninc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://birdmaninc.blogspot.com/feeds/2024173606948319790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4864508496819598916&amp;postID=2024173606948319790' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4864508496819598916/posts/default/2024173606948319790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4864508496819598916/posts/default/2024173606948319790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://birdmaninc.blogspot.com/2009/04/birdman-medieval-castle.html' title='Birdman  Medieval Castle'/><author><name>BirdMan Inc</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10562609715220270016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_oMsdZ8OMOhs/SA-dQUbRlvI/AAAAAAAAABs/5lVeJkL5hVg/S220/We+are+Birdman_sm.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864508496819598916.post-9171131086217725420</id><published>2009-04-02T09:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T10:38:14.132-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Locations'/><title type='text'>Birdman Ranch Locations</title><content type='html'>Birdman has been back to visit some of it's favorite ranches over the past few months for clients looking for rolling green hills, vistas, barns and lone trees.

Two projects for '09 summer print ads sent us to the waters edge , one for a children’s shoe company and the other a national department store.  The weather along the California coast in December and January is often said to be the best all year. Early 2009 was no exception, the waves were crashing, sun was shinning and the clouds played along the coastal mountains.  It has been a pleasure visiting our coastal counties from &lt;a href="http://www.visitmarin.org/media/mediaResourceCenter.shtml"&gt;Marin&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://www.filmsantabarbara.com/"&gt;Santa Barbara&lt;/a&gt; with stops in &lt;a href="http://www.sfgov.org/site/filmcomm_index.asp"&gt;San Francisco&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.sanluisobispocounty.com/static/index.cfm?contentID=273"&gt;San Louis Obispo&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.filmmonterey.org/index.htm"&gt;Monterey&lt;/a&gt; Counties.

The 150-year-old space was originally built as a small theater, then for many years was  home to a travel agency.  Most recently the location was rented by the Democratic Party and served as Marin County headquarters for the Obama Campaign. We have comfortably settled  in and love our new space!

We are truly honored that so many incredible people showed up and we consider ourselves fortunate to be part of this community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no doubt we as hosts had an unforgettable night, but don’t take our word for it. Here’s what some of our friends had to say about last night’s party:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A huge thank you to you all for creating such a wonderful event last night, what a great time had by everyone!  It is so nice for the community to come together, just because, and have real connections.  It means a lot.  And, to finally meet certain people face-to-face... that was the biggest treat!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Just wanted to say thank you for such a cool and fun event!  It was really great to get to see so many people all together.  The venue was perfect, the tacos delicious.  It was a great feeling of community.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“WOW! What a fun night. Met a ton of very cool people, which is not surprising because you guys are the magnets! Thank you so much for including me…really fun to come out sporting a bindi.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you all for such a great uplifting and fun party- it felt like a reunion of sorts for me and I enjoyed every minute of it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What a great evening!  I think that was the first time many of the folks I've met thru the biz over the last 15? years were gathered in one spot.  Thanks for bringing us all together.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thanks a million for gathering the SF photo community – connecting faces with names and voices - from the captain's bar to the cheese table, onward to the taco truck and the boardwalk views - altogether, the evening was a delight.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Thank you for hosting an amazing gathering last night. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and catch up in person. What a beautiful location. It was a great idea to bring people together prior to the holiday madness, too.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4864508496819598916-5765624586853534637?l=birdmaninc.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://birdmaninc.blogspot.com/feeds/5765624586853534637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4864508496819598916&amp;postID=5765624586853534637' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4864508496819598916/posts/default/5765624586853534637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4864508496819598916/posts/default/5765624586853534637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://birdmaninc.blogspot.com/2008/11/blackbird-gathering-exceeds.html' title='BlackBird Gathering Exceeds Expectations!'/><author><name>BirdMan Inc</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10562609715220270016</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_oMsdZ8OMOhs/SA-dQUbRlvI/AAAAAAAAABs/5lVeJkL5hVg/S220/We+are+Birdman_sm.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864508496819598916.post-8767054626090923637</id><published>2008-10-21T09:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T14:20:12.583-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Business News'/><title type='text'>Birdman Is With You On The Mysterious Road Ahead...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.birdmaninc.com/Birdmanblog/LongRoadAhead_02.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s no secret that the shifting economy has quickly changed the face of the photo industry over the past year.

Jim's advice to aspiring photographers was to shoot fifteen minutes a day and reminded us that some of the greatest photographs and paintings have been made in artists’ backyards.  Jim came off as an inspired artist full of ambition, foresight and trust in other’s visions. It’s clear to see why Jim shines as a bright light in our field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had the pleasure of collaborating with &lt;a href="http://www.blackwellfiles.com/"&gt;The Blackwell Files&lt;/a&gt;, a fellow sponsor of the event, welcoming visitors with Champagne, Proseco and truffles.

We consult with you in detail prior to starting a file pull and quickly deliver a variety of options to your specifications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our goal with file pulls is to offer many locations in a fraction of the time it would take to freshly scout.
