  • The library a brand new building? I thought it was a renovation.

  • It's what I would call a Malibu Remodel.

    I saw a show on HGTV where they remodeled a house in Malibu where they left a single wall standing. Under of the letter of the law, it was still a remodel and got the owners out of following the stringent guidelines that only pertained to new construction.

    While the library "remodel" was not that extreme, it was very close. I either saw a photo or noticed from Sonic on Broadway that the walls were completely gone leaving just the floor, structural support columns and the roof. Yes, technically that is a remodel.

    Thanks for reading.

  • Lumpy,

    Here's a photo of the library that ran in the paper from April. Does this look remodel to you?

  • Brad,

    Yeah. I remember those quaint dirt floored rooms before the library remodel. That guy used to dress up like Abe Lincoln and read Beowolf out loud by the light of a single candle on Presidents' Day.
