The little houses outside our apartment used to be affordable lodging for employees of the Schindler elevator factory.  That was a long time ago; the current occupants were a different crowd and the houses nearing their end of life.  The owners won the right to tear them down and replace them after Emmen voted in their favor, so we’re getting treated to quite the spectacle outside our house.  Here are a few videos of what we got to see.

A house gets torn down, but baloney scores higher with our two-year-old.  The sequel.

Now it’s the house right outside.  The tenants did some damage, but nothing like this.  Here’s the destruction in a two-part time lapse: Tschüss Schindlerhüsli (Part I) and Tschüss Schindlerhüsli (Part II), along with two more parts from the house behind that: Tschüss Schindlerhüsli (Part III) and Tschüss Schindlerhüsli (Part IV).
