(22,683 posts)I had to go see a lawyer, who had an office directly across the street from the house I grew up in. I left the lawyer's office, and I saw a man working in the driveway of the house.
He had construction equipment everywhere, as well as materials. The guy looked tired and dirty, and he was working on something while cursing. I walked over and introduced myself, and told him that I lived in the house 45 years ago. He said he was having a huge problem in his remodeling...there was something going on with the way the interior walls were configured and he couldn't figure it out. I told him I would be happy to help him if he would give me a tour. He did, and I was able to explain a few things to help him.
I should add that no one was living there yet. The house was very run down. He bought it to improve and flip.
