Update to "If You Build It, They Will Come"

Update to IYBITWC....

We saw a dumpster in the driveway of the craftsman house below. When I poked around and looked in, I noticed some original plaster and tile but nothing that could be saved (including some rough sawn boards). When I asked the contractor what was happening, he said they were knocking a wall or two down but the house was staying. I asked about the wood trim and he said, "They are refinishing." As someone who is 5 weeks into rewinding the poor decision to paint over woodwork, I hope they simply mean they are going to dust the woodwork as it is in amazing shape. Sigh.
