The contractor is moving right along on the McMansion being built next door. The foundation walls were poured last week, the forms were taken down last Friday and today they are waterproofng the basement walls.
And there is a big plie of gravel sitting out front.. I expect this wil be used when they do the basement floor.
The house next door is no more! Our neighbors are doing a bit of “suburban renewal.” This is what the house next door looked like a few days ago.
The first blow!
Halfway there!
The chimney is no more!
The coup de grace!
And now the house is gone! It took less than an hour to completely demolish the house. The next day, it took about six hours and a number of 18-wheeler truckloads to haul away the debris and trees that were cut down.
This is what the property looks like now. Ready for the new construction to begin.
One of the dogs (Gunston on the right in the pictue) has a serious illness called “Pemphigus.” For a while, it looked like he was on the way out, but he is now recovering. He’s not quite back to normal yet, but hopefully as he gains the weight he lost and the medication keeps working, his health will continue to improve!
