A fixer upper

So the other day we were driving on our way to the west end of the city and we came across this house. There were some people working on it. From the looks of things they have their work cut out for them

[Dianna Coile]

Looks like a worthy project - good bones!

[Anita Campbell]

Yes, it does look like a massive job..... ! Not a job either of us would want to tackle ..... But some people love renovating and remodeling. We've often teased that our 55 year marriage has lasted through my four total joint replacement surgeries, but we can't imagine it surviving a massive home remodel. Haha!

[wendy frost]

Well it could be very nice with some tlc.

[Delia]

Looks like a big job. I notice the autumn leaves. It is spring here, lots of new growth.

[Babs]

Well spotted. You will have to go back when it is finished and do an 'after' shot.

[Nova]

From the look of the leaves on the ground Brian, you are farther ahead of us in the "fall" season. I am looking forward to the next few weeks, as more of our trees change colour. Neat old house. :)

[Lynne]

I've always wanted to buy a fixer-up and fix it up but never really had the extra cash or time for it.

[Janet B.]

Looks like fun to me! I love a good construction/remodel project. I'd like to see it again once it's finished! I love the squiggly trunk on the big tree and the way you composed the shot with the lines of yellow leaves in the foreground. They relate nicely to the yellow lines of the fencing.

[Jane Anderson]

It's always heartening to me to see renovation and restoration!

[Candace]

Nice for them to renovate though!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great find and a great capture. I bet it will look beautiful when it is all fixed up.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

That could turn out to be a good home, great find.

[Julienne Jones]

One of life's challenges!

[gloria jones]

Great find and shot...renovating old homes is great way to feel a sense of accomplishment

[Nina Ganci]

beautiful with the trees around. love the feel of this. Please do show us the photo when the renovations are complete. So looking forward to seeing the results of this renovation

[Harry J Benson]

But it looks like it will be worth it - nice presentation

[Nicole]

a lovely shot!

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the nice tree, the leaves and buildings

[KWind]

I bet it will be lovely when finished.

[Ann]

Nice shot.

[Gayle Sears]

It's always nice to see old things made new again.

[Tony]

Certainly looks in need of TLC
