Brothers Literally Split Inherited Home In Half

Two faced houseTwo brothers in a small Turkish village came up with an unorthodox solution to a dispute over how to divide a 150-square-meter house they inherited from their father.  Each brother measured out his 75-square-meter half then took a chainsaw and literally split the house down the middle.  One of the brothers demolished his half and rebuilt a newer renovated edition from scratch.  The other brother plans on renovating his own half in the future.
