New neighbors soon

 Looking up Walker St....

There's that empty lot on a steep slope. They start by building a high basement wall...lots of concrete blocks.  July 29. I posted about this here.


Another two story home is framed out. Aug 26


 Aug 28 As I go buy on this corner when shopping, I've watched these bare bones turn into a dwelling. The construction workers find some shade near their cars, sit on the side of the road and eat their lunches.


Sept. 3 This is the corner of Walker St. and Old US 70, where I turn left to go to Black Mountain or right to Swannanoa or Asheville. Not sure why I caught that rainbow flash! It is not through a window.

I'm happy that the dentist treated my broken tooth last Friday, and reconstructed it somehow. Amazing work, and chuckles throughout. I will next get some help on the other surfaces where I've also lost enamel.

      I would imagine this house will be sold before it's finished.

      Me too. Fortunately the many trees do help reduce noise pollution, and most of us seniors who live in the apartment complex are in bed by 10 or 11. No problem even when live concerts are held a half mile down the road! So I think this neighborhood will continue to attract the good kinds of people (by my definition at least). Dog barking when owners leave the out on leash are the main difficulty, especially small yappy dogs.

    They might be sorry they didn't build a bigger porch. Seems like we spend the summer on ours.
    Happy about your tooth! Good work, that.

      I imagine their porch faces setting sun. Most folks go for back porches if that's possible. With their steep lot, I'm not sure it can happen.

    looks like they built the house right on the street, no front yard.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
