this is the front, trees had been growing inside for years. It had a door, an opening for a window and no roof. Not very sturdy for strong winds. So the collapse was the loud noise we heard on Sunday night. It's rather interesting, nobody really paid attention to the building.

wall collapse
on the side of the coastguard building we had a small building which wasn't used for anything. I think it was a small place to park a car many years ago. With the strong gusty winds we had during the week, the outside wall blew down. Our neighbor parks his car in the space you see on the left. Luckily it wasn't damaged so the other day he started to lower the remaining wall so it wouldn't be a problem. Next month, he will rent a dumpster (skip) to have the cement blocks hauled away.

It looks as though it should have been demolished anyway - the wind has done the job for you.
ReplyDelete...few things last forever!
ReplyDeleteNot exactly the results that environmentalist expect from wind power.
ReplyDeleteSort of reminds me of the story of the three little pigs: Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down! :-)
ReplyDeleteNot really damage then.
ReplyDeleteYou have some heavy weather overthere, that even walls collapse!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm glad no one got hurt.. but what is the point of a car park if there is not a roof?
ReplyDeleteWhen something like that has been around for a long time if can almost become invisible! That must have been a mighty strong wind Bill ✨
ReplyDeleteLooks like a few nation states around the world, slowly crumbling into disrepair and ruin.
ReplyDeleteHello, I am glad no one was hurt. Maybe the blocks could be recycled.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead!
Glad the worst you heard during the storm was the noise from that place.
ReplyDeleteHi Bill.
ReplyDeleteNice that the stones will be cleared away.
Greeting from Patricia.
Ha Bill. Bij ons zouden ze zeggen, dat is pech schuurtje weg.
ReplyDeleteGroet Kees.
You must have had some very strong winds there. I had a sort of similar close call where I live. When we had those high winds last week, a tree came down and crashed through the carport cover in the space next to mine. There was no damage because no one was parked in that space at the time but the funny thing is, no one heard anything and it must have made a loud crash.
ReplyDeleteHa Bill, dit is een nieuwe blog van mij, de reden is dat dit gebeurd is door omstandigheden.
ReplyDeleteGroet kees.
He was lucky that the wind was going in that direction and not the other, Bill!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a good thing that it caused no further damage.
ReplyDeleteforces of nature are strong
ReplyDeleteWeee.... good nothing even more bad happened!
ReplyDeleteJust a little rain here... and, well, it´s too cold for my liking!
Ha Bill, hier de link van mijn nieuwe blog

That must have been quite a storm.
ReplyDeleteJust pleased no-one or nothing was hurt/damaged.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Sure lucky his car wasn't there. At least it will be getting cleared away now.
ReplyDeleteA structure that's neglected will eventually fall.
ReplyDeleteFunny that nobody owned the building.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was time for these walls to go away. Must have been a really strong wind.
ReplyDeleteIf Mother Nature's going to have a hissy fit like that it's always good when no one gets hurt.
ReplyDeleteWow, you must´ve had a storm there. Mother nature is tidying up!
ReplyDeleteThe wall fell down after many years, so lucky the vehicle wasn't damaged. Have to count their blessings on that.
ReplyDeleteGlad his car didn't get damage in the wall fall.
ReplyDeleteAlways neat to see trees growing inside old buildings.
