memories and what ever else

i was strolling through the office intranet a few days ago, its the only thing i can search, since they took away our internet. but in any case, i came across some pictures some person took on a trip to dumanjug. surprisingly, the person took pictures of the big house, looking grand in its freshly painted, still-being-restored state.
The big house is one of the family heritages the family is trying to restore. and in its process, the ouse was stripped down, as behind the walls, termites were slowly eating at the hardwood haligis. the posts, and the entire area was then treated with solignum to kill the termites and keep them from coming back. then one by one, the deco and designs of the house were slowly repaired to bring them back to their perfect state.
although its far from being completed, the construction works are slowly beginning to return the true beauty of the house. it may take time, effort, will, and matter to finish it, but it will have to be done, for if it were just painted over, it wouldn't look as good in the end, nor would it last as long. for painting over a crumbling wall, or a rotting post may hide it, but it can never stop the destruction. the wall will still crumble, and the post will still rot. there are really no shortcuts, and you have to destroy to build.
and the house will be finished, no matter how long it will take. because we want it to.
