This takes my focus off the Linc every time I drive it. I'm glad traffic doesn't stop just after or I'd risk rear-ending someone.

They also owned a bit of the land; they sold the land to the developer and the house.

I bet they got something pretty from doing that, not that I have any knowledge at all on how procurement of homes and land go with a developer taking hold of it. My mind tends to think that it could be a very handsome sum if you keep at the bargaining table more than once.

P.S. Indoor pools are the bomb, especially this time of the year, like today even!

All the windows are in as of a month ago.

A few pictures from this afternoon. Taken as a passenger from a moving car so they are not the greatest, but nonetheless:

Taken earlier this week. This is going so slowly!

Probably due to a lack of trades-people. Lots of demand, can't expand the pool of skilled work fast enough to handle it (never mind the pandemic's many effects)

A duplex is going up just down the street from us, replacing a smallish old home. It seems to have stalled after the framing and sheeting went up... a few windows have been put in, but there has not been a lot of activity on site. I imagine the same issue is holding things up.

I’ve noticed that all the units are still empty and it’s been finished for a year now. What’s going on with this building?

Innsertnamehere · #14 Posted **Sep 18, 2023, 5:57 PM**

Streetview from July shows it under construction still:

Clearly a very slow moving project though.

I've been watching this project for years and I even reached out to the developer but they were very tightlipped and not willing to talk about the project at all. I can't imagine how any lender could still have confidence this project will sell if it ever actually finishes.

it sat open to the elements for almost 2 full winters, how can any of that timber not be rotting away by now?
