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?)

Yep, that's how it is... one see a place that is only empty space and before you know it, blam! buildings everywhere.. seen this happen all to often. Cool shot Though!
Fantastic Image,
Wonderful capture! Beautiful area!
And they call it progress, Great capture and backstory!
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.
Heck, I thought a school WAS a stud farm...
Brrrrr..... That does look cold.... I need a hot cuppa right now... Cool photo!
