Watching A House Being Taken Apart

Behind our condo building is a large home that is being dismantled. There are new owners (younger couple with children) who just purchased this house which sat on the market for over three years. I don't know whether they will move in or sell as an investor. The former owners where elderly and probably wanted to move into something smaller and more secure for their retirement years, who knows? The house was a bit dated - green shutters, faded awnings, white wrought iron doors, gravel driveway, etc. As the workers pull off the shutters, break down the balconies, pull old flooring and tile out of the house, I wonder how this house served the past owners. What joys and family celebrations rang in these walls. I used to see carloads of people stop by on the holidays over the years. I know there is a pool and a lovely private backyard that served as a play area for kids, barbecuing, family gatherings. If this house could talk, what would it say?

As the house is being updated and changed, new experiences will fill the house with different energy, different people with different styles, life experiences, etc. I am excited to see how it will look when it's complete and who shows up regularly.
