    Well, the truth is: It’s known as a “Bridge Upgrade” funded by the obama stimulus plan. This new bridge comes with AC and a drive through refreshment counter….

    ok sing along time!

    “Our house….. in the middle of our street!
    Our house….  in the middle of our street!”
    Seriously, I was wondering how the hell they will get this house moving again, without destroying the house??
    You might need to get the Army corps of engineers involved.  Theyre already going to have to pay for a new bridge, so might as well rack up a few thousand more….
    What cracks me up is this sucker even has a two car garage. They couldnt have had a small house in this situation, NOOOOOO  it had to be a big one!

    Also: picture if you had to cross this bridge to get home, and it was the only road going there!  >.<

    Imagine the perfect waterfront home, you can fish out the front or back door!

    I’d say the house is better off where it is. At least the basement will never flood.

    I’m guessing they may need flood insurance.
    Maybe they can cut a hole or two in the floor and do some fishing.
    Here in Michigan that would be considered an nice Ice Shanty.

    I have never understood the attraction of sitting out in subzero temps and sticking a string in the water through a hole cut in ice.  Ya want fish that bad, go to the local grocery store.  :P

    Ob….  fishing = peace and quiet, time away from the wife   ;)

    Sb, make yourself a ‘man cave’ with all the amenities, like heat, and put a “Do Not Enter” sign up!  LOL

    I’ll post a photo of what fishing is like in Michigan. On FB.

    LOL  Yeah, that’s one way to do it.
