   Just take down the interior walls add two ramp open up both ends and you have a old
   fashion New England style covered bridge. Or re-route the road build a new bridge and you have a house Wright would of been proud of for location.

   This belongs in the thread "How do you tell if a house is level / plumb"  This one looks real close to me.

   Beats me, but that water feature should attract some high dollar buyers.

   You weigh a house like you weigh a cat:
   -- Stand on the scale and weigh yourself. Write it down.
   -- Pick up the house and stand on the scale again.
   -- Calculate the difference in the two numbers.

   They could turn it into a drive thru quickie mart.

   I can hear the realestate agent trying to sell it.

   But the guy who drove the house over the bridge is now sitting on the group W bench.

   Group W is the category in the draft physical for the social rejects who are unacceptable to the Army.  For example; they have a "character-logical inability to adapt to authority situations".  In other words for Arlo they were busted for littering and general nuisance to many times.

   In the movie there was a bench they all sat on.

   I didn't see the movie but I should have remembered it from the song. Saw Arlo sing it at the reunion "Alices Restaurant" in Texas a few years ago.

   Indeed it was Paul and Art who did Bridge Over Troubled Water circa 1970
   and the album by the same name (I have it in vinyl around somewhere)
   - Ah, long live the 60's (early '70s is considered the 60s by those of us who enjoyed them...)The King (aka Elvis) did House of Sand
