OLD HOUSE DOWN/NEW HOUSE UP

THE OLD CRAWFORD FARM HOUSE IS GONE, THEY DISMANTLED IT THIS SPRING AND PUSHED IT IN A HOLE, DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEXT PLANS ARE FOR THE LAND, BUT ITS A BIG EMPTY SPOT
AND A NEW HOUSE IN TOWN, IS OUR NEIGHBORS, THE LEIRANS HAVE PUT UP A NEW HOME, WHERE THE SPILDE HOUSE WAS. IT WAS BUILT BY THE COLLEGE IN CALMAR,NICC - THEIR CONSTRUCTION CLASS WILL BUILD A HOUSE FOR YOU, YOU PROVIDE THE MATERIALS AND THE LABOR IS FREE. THE PLUMBING & HEATING CLASS DOES THAT WORK ALSO FOR YOU. IT DOES TAKE ALONG TIME BECAUSE THEY ONLY WORK ON IT DURING THEIR CLASS TIME. SO IF YOU WANT TO BUILD ONE THIS WAY, DON'T BE IN A HURRY

AND THE LAST PICTURE IS TAKEN BY THE OLD RECHSTEINERS GARAGE, WHERE ALL THE WALNUT TREES WERE. THIS WINTER A CREW CAME TO TOWN AND PURCHASED ALL THE WALNUT TREES AND TOOK THE LOGS AND LEFT THE REST TO BE CLEANED UP BY WHOMEVER. THEY TOOK THE ONES BY THE CHURCH, SOME FROM DOUG KOENIG AND CURT KLEPPER NO MORE PING - PING ON THE GARAGE ROOF


THATS IT FOR TODAY, JUST SOME SAD NEWS, WE LOST OUR OLD NEIGHBOR LADY MAXINE MEYER THIS MORNING. SPENT ALOT OF TIME OVER THERE GETTING MY DIAPER CHANGED, SITTING ON HER LAP AND PORCH ETC AND HER COOKIES WERE THE BEST. SHE WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY THE MEYER AND LOONEY CHILDREN. GOLF TOURN TOMORROW, SO PROBABLY NO BLOGGING, BUT I DO HAVE SOME GREAT PICTURES OF DOUG'S NEW LANDSCAPE PROJECT FOR THE NEXT BLOG
