For anyone who has any interest in home improvement projects, check out this major restoration of an abandoned, vandal destructed, run down mansion that is really close to my house. If you get online and take a look at this amazing place, my home is in the wooded foothills that you see behind the mansion. Mike and I actually took a peek inside in 2007 and it was abandoned and run down even then - has only gotten worse over the years. Another lofty and unrealistic dream of mine was to buy it and restore it just like Sharon is doing now - millions to buy, millions to restore, and probably millions to maintain. If I had ever won the lottery in a big way, that was on the top of the to do list. I am glad someone is bringing this place back to its former glory. Mike and I know Sharon, although it has been a few years since we have seen her. She is documenting the whole "rebirth" of Selma on Facebook - has hired a professional photographer to chronicle everything. Absolutely wonderful to follow if you enjoy this kind of thing.
