Description
Having left the empire of quackery long behind, and likewise the museum of modern art, I come out in a large open space. The paneled building to the left was the only one here in 2000, when the school bought the old stud farm for conversion into a school. A few years later the whole area was developed. Both the 2 story red houses and the one story white houses were erected. They were prefabricated, the walls and basic floors put in place in 1 to 2 days work. Then came plumbing, sewage, electricity, fiberglass insulation blocks and inside work (wires, floors, wall paper, painting, etc.) which took about 3 weeks per house.
I wonder if the owners know how flimsy the construction is? The insulation had to be redone after 10 years due to compression of the fiber glass insulation. A LOT of expensive work! And these are houses in the 1½ to 2 million crown range ($180,000.- to $250,000.-)! I wonder if they’d stand up to a good “shake and bake” (earth quake). Most likely not a tornado, either.
I often wonder what the people who own them do for work.
I continue my way to the right (in the deep snow) to the street crossing beyond the far right tree.
Enjoy! (Did I mention it was dreadfully cold and windy?)

there are few structures that withstand a tornado. in the multi -million homes where I use to work I was repairing things that the builder did not construct properly. sometimes the builder would pay, and other times the home owner

Most uninviting, despite the lovely pristine snow.
