I hate to burst your bubble, but here is a list.
Presidents have been renovating and expanding the White House
for more than a century.

1. In 1817, the White House was rebuilt after being burned by British troops during the War of 1812; architect James Hoban restored it.
2. In 1902, Teddy Roosevelt built the West Wing.
3. In 1909, William Howard Taft added the first Oval Office.
4. In 1933, FDR expanded again — adding a second floor, moving the Oval Office, completing the East Wing, and even building an indoor pool.
5. In 1948, Harry Truman went big, gutting and rebuilding the entire interior of the White House from the ground up.
6. In 1952, Truman’s comprehensive renovation involved gutting the interior and reinforcing the structure.
7. In the 1970s, Richard Nixon turned that old pool into the press briefing room and added a bowling alley.
8. In 2009, Barack Obama swapped the tennis court for a basketball court.

And now, in 2025, President Donald J. Trump is breaking ground on a grand, privately funded ballroom — carrying on the tradition of modernizing America’s most iconic home.

History didn’t start yesterday. Every president leaves their mark — and Trump’s is built to last.

“Throughout its history, the White House has seen various updates, including improvements in heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. Each president has made unique contributions, from refurbishing rooms to adding modern amenities, ensuring the White House remains functional and relevant.”

Government Shutdown Clock – The White House
…Day 26 – and counting ~ this will be a new part of my posts until the gov opens back up…
When will the government shutdown end? Update, odds on next Senate vote to reopen: Delaware Online …(October 24, 2025)“The federal government shutdown has hit Day 24 and is now the second longest shutdown in United States history since it began on Oct. 1, 2025, but how much longer is it expected to last? Here’s an update on the next Senate vote and the odds of a funding bill passing to reopen any time soon. On Thursday, Oct. 23. the Senate adjourned until Monday, Oct. 27 without taking a vote on legislation to fund the government although they did vote on a new measure, called the Shutdown Fairness Act, that would have paid federal workers, military members and contractors who have continued to work during the shutdown; that measure failed. The Senate is expected to vote again on Monday, for what will be their 13th attempt.” … “There is no end in sight to the current government shutdown that started on Oct. 1, 2025, and confidence in how long it will last or when it will end is just as unsure, according to the betting odds on Polymarket.

• 1% believe it will end between Oct. 23-26
• 8% believe it will end between Oct. 27-30
• 11% believe it will end between Oct. 31-Nov. 3
• 15% believe it will end between Nov. 4-7
• 7% believe it will end between Nov. 8-11
• 14% believe it will end between Nov. 12-15
• 44% believe it will end on or after Nov. 16″
• I’ve seen reports that the government will remain shutdown until Christmas.
