Dull day.
The demo of the small house is (almost) done.

Hope they don't fill the gap and cover the lovely five windows.

The foundation that I'm flying over is for a big building, so yeah. They will......
And where all the rubble is, there will be a low extension of the church (which will stay below the windows)

Well I guess that is okay.

It's a shame as it looks better with no property there.

Nice shot Peter.  Does appear demo is almost fully complete.  

Those foundations for the newbuild are more extensive than I realised.

Not much we can do about this anymore.

Yeah, some people created a render of a square with nothing but some benches. Looked very good.
But that does not generate money.....

Thanks Rich. Yeah, it's done now. But the weather and agenda have not been cooperating.

Yeah, this is the old hotel that they took down earlier.

Looks like it will keep you busy through 2025, at least, filming it.

No doubt about the weather being uncooperative and that's not just an issue at your location.  

Before the the old has gone the new is going in - great shot

They could have some portable food stalls there,  that could generate some funds

it's private property, so they can 'do what they want' I guess.
this is probably the most profitable option within the zoning plan

Yes.  that will be the issue indeed,    the other property you were flying over seems to be getting some attention too?  Was that insulation they are pumping.

You mean with the foundations?

The black pipes bottom right.

DAFlys Posted at 12-19 04:30

Lower the groundwaterlevel. Otherwise the foundation gets pushed out of the ground by the pressure of the water.

Tis the season for sure.  I played two sets last night with a local band.  They all said I did a good job, even the drummer and he's a phenomenal player.

Ah.  that must be a uniquely Dutch problem and why the got the dutch to build over on the local island as they had to deal with marshy land. there.

Imported once and used often.

Montfrooij Posted at 12-20 01:43
Imported once and used often.

The design is quite often different but still similar,   there is one in the town where I grew up where they used to do tours of it,  its actually someones house,   and they had custom furniture to fit the wall shape.

Funny, I don't think I ever saw one (which does not mean too much btw)

They would be hilarious if you dont have dutch cottages in the NL.

Here's another example nestled amoungst modern housing,    I go past this one regularly.

Yeah, that would be funny.
I'd have to look them up.

After googling that.  there are hundred of that type of shot.      And I really dont like it.   Could that relate to me hating NY.

Yeah, I noticed.
I just remember one in particular, but could not find it anymore.
It was used a lot back then as an example.

Never in my life saw these in NL.
But.....
NL is big for one person.
Could be a regional thing.

I did some googling, but only found hits outside of NL.....
But the Dutch immigrants made them apparently.
