Behind the house used to lie a concrete block shack. Initial use undetermined. It was a great source of mystery to the old timers in the neighborhood. The ideas were far ranging, some not fit to type. What was known…it couldn’t stay. We tore it down and hauled it away in less than a day. Even though it wasn’t of use to us, its always a little sad to tear things down. It takes so much less time to tear things down than it does to build them up. Case in point, adding the two, water-permeable gravel parking spots took three days.
