Post the house you grew up in...

[Kiopa_Matt]

Go onto Google Street View, find the house / place you grew up in, and post an image of it. Here's mine:

I remember as a kid thinking our house was huge, but it looks so small now. I also remember hating that driveway during the winter. Every year we'd always just wait until my mom could no longer get out with the car, then it'd be a 4 man, 3 day shovel-a-thon to clear the thing.

Where'd you grow up?

it took 4 guys and 3 days to shovel that just to get in and out? Something aint right...

My 13 year old shovels mine by him self and has it done in 2 hours and my driveway is 5x bigger then yours.

I think you're mis-underestimating how large that driveway is. Plus it extends about another 20 - 30 feet out the back. Add 4 feet of snow, and a bunch of ice underneath that needs to be chipped away, and -38C temperatures, plus us going to school and work, and yeah... 3 days.

One thing I miss about that house is the wood burning fireplace. That was awesome. Come in freezing, and stand in front of it for a few mins to warm up. Nothing better.

Truly humble beginnings. Couldn't find 1 other one as the airport bought out all the land and tore the houses down.

I moved around a bit








^^ a little diff from where I live now

Since you asked for Google streetview, here is it:

Not pictured: The house (it's about a quarter mile back). Safe to say I think my snow shoveling problems were a little worse than yours

not available on street view. this is from Bing

- chain link fences separating neighbor yards. there was a swinging chain link fence that was the gate for the drive way. i was the automatic door opener until my dad removed those

- unfinished basement with exposed pipes and 6 foot ceilings
- a ceiling fan in the kitchen which i used to jump up and hit (and eventually fell and almost killed me)
- trap door in bathroom ceiling led to unfinished attic space. No one ever went up there. You would have to climb on a sink and shelves to get up there.
I went up there without destroying the bathroom 900 times somehow.
- 3 bed, 1 bath
- dad added another bath a few years later but didn't extend the heat to the room. Toilet would be full of ice in the winter

- right next door to a liquor store. when i was a kid there was no law against buying booze/cigs for your parents. i was the local errand boy

- broke about 19 old style paned windows kicking soccer balls or throwing frisbees into or out of the house

There were 3 main houses:

 

[bitfiend]

grew up in a round house. Being sent to sit in a corner was not an option

TMI. Y'all are crazy.

This was the first house I lived when my family moved to America.

 

[Jizzlobber]

Was kind of hard growing up because some of the other kids were jealous.

 

[music4mic]

I only lived there for 3 or 4 years when I was kid. Apparently the place caught on fire, was rebuilt, then flooded, was rebuilt, then had a pipe break was flooded, then rebuilt, again.

If we're calling "growing up" the early years til, say, late teens, then I have to post 8 places. We moved a lot. I'm actually surprised some of these dumps are still standing and haven't been bulldozed under to make way for new places. Can't find the first place I lived in BC, some apartment in Surrey.

Age 4-5 (I think it's the place with the empty carport)

Age 5-8

Age 8-12

Age 12-14 (always amazed to see how much the trees have grown, used to easily see this form the road)

Age 14-15 (Google's car doesn't make it up driveways)

Age 15-17

Age 17-21
