I'm with you, Tetters. Absolutely amazing!
There is an an older part of Houston where the lots are small and the smallish houses are "built up on blocks". As the old folks passed away, the yuppies would buy the houses and remodel them. Some of them wanted more floor space, but that was difficult because of the small lots. So they would make the one story homes into two stories. But instead of tearing off the roof and going up, they would cut all the plumbing loose underneath, then raise the entire thing up and build a first floor underneath! I always thought that to be equally amazing.
