Unlike the house we showed you last month that has departed for a small town 35 miles away, this house will be moved just across the street and turned to fit onto vacant lot with a basement yet to be built. The vacant house next to it will be simply razed.Cement guys are very busy, they can't find enough qualified workers, we're told. That's a good sign for the housing economy, of course, but irritating when you're the one who wants some concrete work done.
The county continues its relentless pursuit of a wider County Road 17, bringing change to our neighborhood, speculation about the future and the usual gripes about government, as owners place themselves in the best negotiating positions.
Our friends, Gwen and Dick, used to have a house between them and the highway. No longer.
A landmark classic red barn on the right of way will be scooted back 500 feet to make way for four lanes of traffic anticipated to some day flow between 169 and 13.
We hope to witness that move.
