I'm watching some of these Bob Vila videos
detailing the renovation job, some ten or fifteen years ago,
on Elm Court estates in Berkshire County.

Eventually the husband and wife (and two children)
household which was behind the renovating,
decided to stop it and to sell the property --
I guess there were family considerations, regarding the children.
And since then the property has either been
a corporate acquisition, with the neighbors fighting further development,
or it's been on the market with its unfinished renovations.

When that husband and wife couple doing the renovations
first got a look at the mansion in the winter,
the basement floor had four feet of snow piled up.
