Put Down The Hammer, Rent A Back Hoe, And Call An Architect

This article is about people who own houses in the Sandy-hit areas of the Jersey Shore finally deciding to demolish and start over rather than try to fix their storm-damaged houses, and my tour of the area a month ago prompts me to respond, geez, it took this long to realize those homes were totaled? Unless you go there, you have no idea how bad it was. Houses at 45-degree angles, second floors now on the ground, weight-bearing walls turned to Swiss cheese... most of those homes really have to start over. It's tough, but you can't fix that kind of devastation piecemeal. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
