Wee Beastie

Now that your only begotten son has chastised you publicly, seems you might have to work up some creativity for the blog. I’ve little to offer but the below and the attached (more focus failures … ). Now that their kids are going away to college, our across-the-street neighbors have decided that their rather-bigger-than-our-house was too … any guesses? big for empty nesters? Nope — too small. They’re tearing down a perfectly good house and building a bigger one (though modest by today’s McMansion standards — about 3500 sq. ft.). A few days ago this squat powerhouse came to be parked in their yard, and you can see what it’s good at. Alas, it didn’t occur to me to take a true “before” picture, so I started after Day One, when it had mostly had its way with the back yard. I’ll keep a bit of a log as the house goes, the hole gets dug, etc.

  3. 3500 sq ft? Lots bigger than our old and future homes!
    What do people do with all that space?

  4. Well, if they have flat surface phobia as I do, they pile things on all the flat surfaces.

  5. Ha, ha! Well in our case for a while the flat surfaces will mostly be boxes.

    We have a huge basement (our first one) which seems so empty now, but I guess it will be filled up within a year.
