I wonder if the person who built the home planned every single bit with care and attention, or whether it was a post-war special where it was crafted to serve a function.<br /><br />Bittersweet is an apt description. <br /><br />Now I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-52313833312634146752009-10-08T15:58:55.150-04:002009-10-08T15:58:55.150-04:00interested to see what they buildinterested to see what they buildSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070855776622435462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-85820357766124357472009-10-07T11:06:21.131-04:002009-10-07T11:06:21.131-04:00Well, golly, Terry, now I have that awful pit-of-t...Well, golly, Terry, now I have that awful pit-of-the-stomach wrenching I always get when I see a house torn down. <br /><br />It is terrifying how quickly a house that sheltered a family can be reduced to useless rubble. We have not had that here lately, but two houses in our old neighborhood came down this way. I watched, because I couldn't turn away -- but hated it.<br /><br />Will there really be a big house built on that narrow lot? Good luck to the next door neighbors; they'll never grow tomatoes again with a McMansion blocking out the sun.<br /><br />I've been hoping that a positive reaction to our economic woes would be a return to houses on a human scale. I've seen houses built that I mistook for hotels.<br /><br />OK rant over... sorry! And we had a wonderful time visiting with Alida in CA -- I hate that she's so far away, but ... dem's the breaks.<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595423154503946022.post-61306705350369937162009-10-06T18:18:37.077-04:002009-10-06T18:18:37.077-04:00OMG!

I can't figure out exactly what is going on except that it seems new roof for existing structure and a large addition to the back.

It was probably close to 2500 sq ft. I went to work, came home about 6 pm and was sittin go my porch and something did not look right. <br /><br />OH MY GOSH, the house across the street was gone and all that was left was a newly grated lot! They just tore the whole thing down and filled in the basement. Gone..completely gone. All that history too, sort of sad!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166583244097563676noreply@blogger.com
