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.

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.
