Truncated Driveways

There's a neighborhood in Gainesville that has odd driveways and walkways leading from the houses toward the street.

The driveways and walkways end about fifteen feet from the street, coming to a stop with grass in the wide gap remaining.

If this was only a house or two, or this was new construction, I'd expect that the city had plans to come along and add sidewalks and finish the driveways - but these houses have been here at least twenty years, still waiting to be finished.

Do any of you smart folks have any idea what's going on here? I'm curious.

Lego House! A Real House!

It's been a silly fantasy of mine to someday build a real, full-size house out of Lego's. I'd use the tiny bricks to make house-brick-sized-blocks, and then build my house.


Think how easy it would be to create an addition - you decide you need another bedroom or an exercise room or etc - just build one!

Here's a guy who's trying to get a full-sized Lego house made.

I don't know how well Lego's would weather the elements, but I'm sure some research at Legoland would be invaluable. Despite my love for Lego's, I never got around to visiting Legoland while we lived in California.
