  I have not heard the story about this house, but it is being rebuilt.  See how high it is, that is because it is in a flood plain so in order to rebuild, it had to go way up.  Next it needed a ramp up to the front door, about 120 feet of it and so it needs to come around the corner.  Had a couple of men last week who were ready to tackle the job and made good progress, but did not finish before the week was over.  They had to set about 26 posts , digging in rocky frozen ground, and we had to get the city to move the water meter because one of the posts was supposed to go right on top of where the meter was.  They needed to stay warm last week, and so they had a metal garbage can where they burned wood scraps in, and then they got the idea to set it on the spot where they needed to dig the next hole, and so the ground thawed and they could warm up at the same time.
