Bring It On Home

i read in the paper last week that a house in the nearbye town of penngrove has been selected by ABC to be on their show "extreme makeover: home edition." the girl who wrote in is aperently alergic to the sun... and her family lives in a small farm house on a couple acres of land. penngrove is the closest town to the Petaluma, where i live. in fact, it is the only town that actually borders petaluma as there is a "green belt" of un-associated rural land completely surrounding petaluma and penngrove. anyways, so i saw it in the paper and thought it was moderately interesting... which is probably what yer thinking....

well this is where it gets a litle bit more interesting.. but just a little. my cousin said her friend lives across the street and that ABC is using her land to park all their trailers and equipment for the constrauction. hmm.. a little more interesting.... so on monday i was suposed to go take pictures of one of our listings in penngrove. ive taken pictures of it before... its a nice big 2.1 million dollar mediteranian style house on an acre or so of land. the house is imaculate and pretty big. when i went the first time they were thinking of putting in a pool. the second time i went was to get higher quality shots because it was going to be in a magazine. the problem was that they had begun on the pool and there was a gigantic pile of dirt in the backyard... which kinda messed up the view. so on monday i was going to take more pictures... mainly of the newly completed pool. when i get to within a block (a country block mind you) i suddenly came up on an army of cars, trucks, trailers and workers swarming around the area... i suddenly realized what i had just driven into. as it turns out... the chosen house is reight nextdoor (if you can call it that) to our listing. the house, which i had seen and thought nothing of before, was completely different. i dont remember what it looked like in person as it was nothing special... but i saw the picture in the paper.. and you can kinda sorta see it in pne of the pics i took before. but now... it was dramaticly different... it was about twice the size, though still just a skeleton of studs and truces. there were at least 6 people on the roof, a bulldozer on the side and a crane in front, as well as countless other workers inside, outside and across the street where it looked like the infield at a nascar race. it was only day 4.
