because I need a 10th post for the month

here is an update on the demolished and rebuilt house. things seem to have been moving slowly, but today I noticed that tools have been picked up.


the back view - 
note the 3-car garage
the front view - note the circular driveway
that goes nowhere near the garage doors

and remember when I did the little tour and showed you some houses you might be interested in buying?and there was this one that had been left sitting in this unfinished state for about 2 or 3 years? 
did one of you buy it?
because now it is gone!
yay another new house. this time, it will be better than what was there, though it is a shame that the other plans stalled. again, this will obviously be way bigger than the original.

  2. Big, bigger, biggest. Obviously three cars is now a basic human need.

  4. Building to attract wealthier buyers doesn't always work. Sad to see this happen to a neighbourhood.

  5. Aren't houses always bigger than the ones they replace?? Seems a shame to cram them in so much. We suffer from that over here too.

    Have a good weekend!

  6. it's interesting to watch a construction project evolve. Because of time and monetary constraints, our own house is evolving Verrry Sloooowly. I have learned to appreciate any tiny bit of progress.

  7. There are two fancy tiny cities right in the center of Dallas. People buy a house, raze it and build a giant McMansion. And it's a shame because the original houses have lots of character and are very charming. I guess that happens all over the place. And what's with the driveway being in front and the garage in back? Is there a secret road back there?

  8. In this case, the new build will be better than the less than half built older model.

    the house is on a corner lot, so the garages are actually at the side.
