It was rather astonishing.” Ori says typically, when you talk about disassembling a house, you say that it was taken down to the studs. “They took away the studs.”

Ori’s engineer discovered the only thing holding up the house was two inches of stucco. “They took away all the interior dividing walls and basically what was left was a two-story shell,”


That might start a discussion....................

Living with home renovation is stressful.

Living with someone with an obsession is also stressful.

Did the home renovation kill her?

No.

Did marrying a man who was obsessed with something other then her get her killed?

Possibly.

While remodeling a kitchen once, we were spraying the cabinets...and it was the closest the wife and I ever came to blows. What a mess.

All evidence seems to point to Dave as being the murderer.
Maybe he thought keeping the house in a state of ‘permanent postponement’ protected him from making decisions to marry this lady. Maybe he thought she did not love him, and would leave him as soon as the project was done. Who knows? Perhaps he, Dave doesn’t even know.

Speaking of “Zany” stories about home remodeling;
This reminds me of the famed Winchester House near San Jose, Ca. The widow of Mr. Winchester (the gunsmith) thought if she ever stopped adding onto her home, the ghosts of everyone shot dead by her husband’s rifles would come to haunt her.

But it was an older-style Victorian home, and Dave said Shanti wanted a more modern open concept.

The world is FILLED with "open concept" houses. BUY ONE OF THOSE! Those of us who like discrete rooms can't find what we want on the market these days. Don't ruin the wonderful floor plans designed for the house.

Currently I am living in a hotel as I await for 3 months now for the insurance and builder to agree an when they can start renovating my house due to an electrical fire.

It will need to be gutted, rewired and rebuilt. Jun 4 was the date we moved into the hotel.

Looks like we ain’t getting back till next year.
