Tiger Woods & Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren TopNews.in
The much criticized ex-wife of Tiger Woods is getting a little sympathy after tearing down a $12 million mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. When news hit that she had completely razed the home which was built in 1932, people were unhappy & shocked. Now we’ve found out the 9,000 square foot+ home had extensive damage from termites and carpenter ants. Elin Nordegren purchased the sprawling home a year ago for $12.3 million. Elin brought in Habitat for Humanity to salvage anything they could including a concrete fountain, 14 feet in diameter, which features water coming out of three lions’ mouths. Habitat workers also removed cabinets, brick driveway pavers, five sub-zero refrigerators, chandeliers, 14 vanities, controlled-temperature wine coolers called EuroCaves, as well as dozens of doors and one gas range, said Bobbi Blodgett, the director of deconstruction for the non-profit organization that builds homes for the needy. ”What a wonderful thing for her to do. She could have tossed this stuff in the trash. The negative publicity toward her has been very unfair,” she said. One thing workers weren’t able to salvage were the wooden Pella casement windows which were destroyed by the bugs. ”We probably could have got $125 each for those if they were in good condition,” she said. The hundreds of items that were removed are being priced and will be sold at Habitat’s warehouse on Bonita Street in Stuart. They’re expecting the sale of the items to bring in at least $30,000, which will go toward home building.
