Shame, shame, shame
{ My house, back view, click to enlarge and embarrass. }
They've torn down the long abandoned buildings behind my house. For weeks I have woken up to the rumbling of heavy machinery. The pictures on my wall hang crooked and I've felt the building shudder on its foundations through forces akin to minor earthquakes.
Now most of the buildings are gone, the ground is levelled and my kitchen's got more natural light than before. From the street we now have a clear view of my house in all its questionable glory.

While the woodwork of my balcony isn't much worse than that of the houses next to mine, it sticks out against those of my upstairs and downstairs neighbours who have recently renovated -- something we had all agreed on doing before summer 2004 (for legal reasons).
The pictures I'm putting up here are to shame me into taking action.


Ah, the destressed look.
You've still got a few months until summer 2004, haven't you?
And aren't they going to build new houses anyhow?

Argh!
Sorry - MT's got a serious problem rebuilding larger sites. Hope they fix that in 3.0.
