as crazy as life gets at times, it can always get crazier, folks! Extreme Home Makeover rolled into town this week and they are working 24X7 for the next week nearly next door . . . really! They've blocked off my street, won't let me park in front of my house, prohibit my walking my dogs on their usual path throughout the neighborhood and shine their lights on my back yard wall all night. They are demolishing and rebuilding a house about 6 lots down the street along the fence behind my house.
Cops, lights all night 20-or-so above ground lighting the neighborhood, noise, people all over the place.
This is the only other photo I was able to get. The previous photo was compliments of the officer who allowed me to rest my camera on the trunk lid of his car. Without such stability all you see is lights a'wiggling about through the pic. This particular photo was resting on the trailer hitch of the portapotty, LOL! It's just NUTS!
I must obtain a permit to move my car in and out of my street to pull into my backyard driveway.
I was not permitted to enter the street beyond the police barriers. The first visitor day is this coming Sunday. I'll try to get closer tomorrow during the day . . . see if my silver hair will get me by just to snap a photo. I'd like to get a pic of the demolition process.
Thanks for sharing. Maybe you can find some bits and parts of the destroyed house or something to hand down to future generations so they can show them on The PBS Road Show...see what my great (whatever relative fits here) collected...I can document by a picture of the house and the above pics. Then, they can hear the PBS Road Show say, "Wow...your relative even got an autograph on this old sheetrock, AMAZING and worth $125,000.00!". Then, your relative will bless you.
Hee hee.
Enjoy the 15 mins of fame for your neighborhood.

Twincol, How exciting!!! I would love to see all this take place they build some beautiful homes that can only boost the neighborhood. Sorry for your inconvenience but they build in what a week? Think of the stories you can tell for years to come. Tell Ty I said Hi and I love him lol.
Hehehe, done! I'll try to get a pic of the house this week. An odd yellow/goldish color. Two story house, rather large for the neighborhood. But it's not too out of place.
I put together a little story in my journal you might enjoy. I got a kick out of putting it together.
Overall, it wasn't all that much of a distraction, given that it only involved 2 weeks. So, blessings to the neighbor who was given the little gem and enjoys it. We enjoyed the 15 minutes of fame.
Twincol, Wow thanks for the tour and like you think little creator was holding his own with big yellow bully lol. House is gonna be nice and am sure will go to deserving people. What a thing to witness! Love the roof. Keep us posted and wear tennis shoes the next time so you can stay longer lol.
