Neighborhood Teardown

This house on my block is scheduled for demolition. This type of teardown has become a common occurance in our community. Hopefully a tastefully designed home will rise from the wreckage of the old house. I am also departing from my traditional film based photography in favor of digital in order to be more timely in my postings.

The confusion grows

This weeks visit finds our house losing its roof. It appears the house is being knocked down by hand. Maybe they are going for the leave one wall up remodel. By remodeling only 90% of the house there are maybe some easier permit issues. Hmm...

The destruction begins

I am a little confused by this one. The windows have been chopped out and the interior has been gutted. Perhaps they are going for a gut rehab. I thought they were going to get a wrecking ball and just push it into the ground. I guess only time will tell what their intentions are.

New Teardown

This will be my latest case study for this year. I found this house slated for demolition. I am not sure of the owners intentions, but it looks like the wrecking ball is close at hand.
