A fast photographer

I'm impressed that the photographer was able to move all the equipment across the road and set up for another shot before the dog could leave the porch.

Almost like a real estate listing, but not.

More than a 4-inch paintbrush

Happily, there was more in the resto budget than paint! They even got the county road moved away from the front porch.

I went to the scene of destruction.

Admittedly looking pretty sketchy in these photos, this is really a well proportioned, handsome house. Beautiful staircase and hallway inside as well. And thank you, Dave: now I will have Roy Acuff singing in my head the rest of the day. "When whiskey and blood run together, Did you hear anyone pray?"

It's for sale

This 4023 sq. ft. house at 5843 County Road 7714 in Troy, AL, is priced at $175,000. It sits on 4.2 acres and has 5 bedrooms and 2 baths.

A 4-inch paintbrush

And a quick trip or two or three or four to Sherwin-Williams would spruce the place right up. I think.
