What I saw on a recent drive around town.
Those home renovation shows on tv are magical. I love watching them transform an uninhabitable home into a stunner within the hour. Do you watch these shows too? I wish Hollywood would come make over this place. It looks like it was once a real gem. I wish I had the carpentry skills and know how to tackle a project like this myself.
Square One Notes 
That is a cool house. The color is brilliant and it has nice architecture. I hope someone gives it some love.

I do too, Chris! It’s sad to see it boarded up. It’s right next to a delicious hole in the wall Mexican restaurant/counter, next to the railroad tracks too. Might be hard to sell in that way. But it’s a beautiful home from what I can see from the outside.

Yeah, the location is kind of difficult but it might be a good deal for someone who doesn’t have a lot of money but is handy with a hammer. It kind of reminds me of some homes we saw in New Orleans. I likew that style. Have a great one. Take care

Me too! I would love to watch them transform this place. It looks like it has great potential! BTW John, a Wilson look-a-like moved into the neighborhood. I’ll have to see if I can get a photograph for you. He’s on their front porch!

Within the hour – surely that’s not possible is it? (You can tell I’m not living in the States if it is). They do make over programmes in the UK, but they are usually over 2 days!

Right! The renovations take a long while, I imagine, but they piece snippets of the process together and share the results in a 1 hour broadcast. Kind of like a time lapse. I’m not sure I’m explaining it clearly. It’s very satisfying and entertaining to see a disaster of a project transform into an enviable property in a short time. I hope you are doing well out your way!

Ah, that explains it. Thanks. Yes, those programmes have a way of transforming something ram-shackled or ordinary into something very special. All is good here thanks, hope you and yours are well too. 😊

My dear wife Karen and I are HGTV regular viewers, yes, Sandra. That house could use a crew for sure. It would look spectacular at finish. Your photos today are TV worthy too.

Thank you so much Mark! Yes, HGTV is on regularly around here too. It’s comforting to watch all the disasters cleaned up and improved beyond recognition in a short amount of time. Happy endings always. Speaking of endings, Happy Friday Bro!

As I sit fulfilling my WordPress ways on this Saturday a.m., sis Sandra, we finally have some Syracuse-area rain. We need it so much, and it is calming me right now.

That house needs some love. And the blue is quite lovely.
I do like watching those shows but when we are here in Pennsylvania we are always updating. (Older home) This could be the first summer we are not!

I’m crazy about those shows! Home Town and Fixer Upper are the best. They have inspired me so much I feel like I am handy and am actually thinking about buying an old farmhouse to renovate!! Probably way more than I can handle but I might go for it!

Oh wow! That sounds great! I love those and also Good Bones. I need to find another way to enjoy them though. We downsized our cable pkg and I didn’t realize we were losing this station in the transition. 😦
I hope your dream of owning farmhouse is realized! Thank you so much for stopping by to visit with me. Take good care!
