Improvements on the Block

I remember when Dave bought the duplex and property next to us, I got a little nervous. I told him that he couldn't improve it before we fixed up the exterior of our house because it was the only property on the block uglier than ours!

Thankfully, this never became an issue because even after we roofed and painted our house, the property next door remained... well... dumpy.

After that, our fear morphed into, "Honestly, what kind of people are going to want to buy that place?!" Dave joked that he'd do his best to ensure that it would not become a meth lab, but as more and more time passed, we began to wonder if it was a realistic promise.

You can imagine our concern when the "For Sale" signs disappeared one day.

Our fears were completely unfounded! In a very short period of time, the place has been transformed from the outside in! There's a new roof, new siding and new windows. The interior was gutted and is now in the process of being completely renovated. We're pretty impressed!

(...and so grateful that we don't have a meth lab next door!)
