Rumors, Gossip and Speculation

Lately I have been privy to some rumors, gossip and speculation with respect to our former house (see post "Money Pit").  According to our former neighbor there has been sporadic but loud activity at the house.  One day the neighbor's son passed by and the door was open; he noticed that the staircase to the upper level was gone, no minor feat considering that it was concrete.  Rumor has it Mr. R is looking to sell.  If the house is in fact being torn apart it may be that the shortcuts taken during construction are now in need of rectification resulting in a virtual re-build.  Oh to be a fly on the wall.
