abc7 news reporter leslie brinkley tells us about the true cost to own one of these homes. >> reporter: this little red house is for sale for $1. and next door, the greenhouse is also available for $1. developer lowe enterprises is planning to build 127 apartments on the property in brook street in oakland like these renderings. the catch is these victorian houses have to be relocated by april 30. the developer is offering these houses for $1 each in order to meet city requirements for relocating potentially historic promotes and time is money. and the reality is, getting all those permits and approvals by the end of april would be difficult, if not impossible. there are the logistics of moving the home that could cost $60,000 and involve moving power lines, tree limbs, and signal lights on the way to a new location and finding vacant land zoned residential nearby? >> you got to find land that's

going to be large enough to accommodate the home. then you got to make sure that land has the right government regulations that allows for a home to be placed there and you have to make sure that the neighbors are okay with it as well. >> reporter: that hasn't stopped the neighbors here from daydreaming. >> i would much rather live in a house like that than a brand-new building. >> i actually bought a lottery ticket the other day and i thought, if i win, i'll try to do it. >> reporter: they're only $1 each. in oakland, i'm leslie brinkley, abc7 news. workers for a bay area solar company who were just laid off got some more bad news. their final paychecks bounced. sungevity laid off 160,000 employees last smont month. some of those employees' last paychecks bounced. sungevity blamed it on confusion at its bank and is working to fix the problem. the company filed for bankruptcy four days after the layoffs. caltrans haas successfully destroyed a third of the

pfeiffer canyon bridge. crews shook the bridge back and forth with a chisel trying to get it to fall. it's been a month since the bridge has been closed after landslides damaged both support pillars and a bridge deck. earlier this week, caltrans tried using a wrecking ball but it wasn't really hitting the bridge with enough force. >> chiseling away in a very methodical, careful, safe way. we want this bridge to fall in the canyon the way that we want it, not in an uncontrolled way. >> the most important thing is not the cost or the speed in which the work is done. the most important thing is that the work is done safely. >> well, after the bridge is demolished, it could take as long as a year to rebuild good morning, everyone. saturday morning. it's milder, it's cloudier, and we will be looking at some changes over the weekend. they really involve more cloud cover, not much in the way of rainfall yet but it is to come. here's our wider perspective.

the only rain falling now across the state up in mount shasta and we could see a few sprinkles along the coast but temperatures lot low to upper 50s right now from danville, 51 in san ramon and dublin and the rest of the bay area, very mild, 54 san carlos, as well as mountain view, 56 in the city, santa rosa and napa. so your forecast highlights, cooler and cloudier this weekend, possible sprinkle, spotphy light showers through tomorrow but overall most of you won't see anything at all and we're saving the wet pattern for next week. it still looks spotty all week long but by friday, that looks like the most potent system so we'll time it out for you throughout the day today. notice we have a lot of sunshine still in the south bay, mix of clouds and sun in the east bay, and this is all through 10:00 tonight but you'll notice we begin to see a few returns around the north bay and that's why we could see a few spotty light showers. carbon copy again for the second half of your weekend so we add

the totals together through 8:00 tomorrow morning, tomorrow night, really not much at all. so the weekend just looks cloudier and cooler and as for temperatures, still above average. 70 today palo alto, 68 in oakland, san mateo, 67 in san rafael. then we bring in our storm impact scale. we have many 1s right on through the workweek but it's friday, i want to highlight. this is when the rain will get to be moderate to heavy with anywhere from 1 to 2 inches, spotty light showers all week long. then, we have this system that leads us into what looks like a wet weekend and we could see the possibility, yeah, some flooding. now, spring is just two days away so let's take you through monday. spotty showers monday afternoon. we'll see more widespread rain on tuesday. your tuesday morning commute. wednesday looks like a break, but by late in the day on wednesday, we could see a few more showers. thursday, cloudy skies. here we are into friday morning and you can see the darker

shades here of green and this continues right on through friday night. now remember, this is six days away, so this will change, but it looks like with the rain into tuesday, we'll pick up anywhere from a half inch in san francisco, 3/4 in santa rosa, then we'll add together the totals that we're going get into friday night. that will bring us up into an inch and a half and this looks like it should last into next weekend. so, the accuweather 7 day forecast featuring the two dry days, basically this weekend, even though we still could see a slight chance of a shower, download our abc7 news app and you'll be up to date on the timing of the systems. this will change because it's so far out. spring arrives 3:29 on monday morning. that's the vernal equinox when we have just about the same amount of daylight as darkness and you'll notice we are wet and breezy, going backwards with this forecast but we've divide out significantly so a little more rain, why not, but a lot, what are you going to do.

thinking. >> reporter: and when merkel was named "time" magazine's american of the year in 2013, trump tweeted, i told you "time" magazine would never pick me, despite being the big favorite. they picked the person who is ruining germany. yesterday, a step towards better relations. >> chancellor merkel, it is a great honor to welcome you to the people's house, the white house. >> reporter: it's much better to talk to one another, she said, and not about one another. when it came time for questions, the toughest came from two german reporters who asked about the president's no-evidence claim that president obama tapped his phones. trump dodged the first. >> mr. president -- >> reporter: and then alluded to the revelations a few years ago from wikileaks that u.s. intelligence had, in fact, monitored merkel's cell phone. >> as far as wiretapping, i guess by, you know, this past

administration, at least we have something in common, perhaps. >> reporter: the german reporter brought up what press secretary sean spicer said when he quoted a conservative commenter who on fox news alleged that british intelligence spied on trump for president obama. >> he didn't use the nsa. >> didn't use the fbi and he didn't use the department of justice. he used gchq. >> what is that? it's the initials for the british intelligence spying agency. >> reporter: spicer's use of that statement outraged the british who called the allegation utterly ridiculous. but trump didn't back down. >> all we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television. i didn't make an opinion on it. that was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on fox, and so you shouldn't be talking to

me. you should be talking to fox. >> reporter: a short while later, this from fox news anchor shepherd smith. >> fox news knows of any evidence of any kind that the now president of the united states was surveilled at any time in any way, full stop. >> reporter: jonathan carl, abc news, washington. u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson is in beijing this morning. tillerson met with chinese foreign minister after arriving. their discussions are expected to focus on north korea's nuclear program, trade, and south china sea territorial disputes. tillerson's visit to beijing is the final stop on his three-country tour through northeast asia. well, it's more than a meal. 3,000 san francisco seniors who rely on meals on wheels for food every day are now worried what a loss of federal funds means for their future. president trump's budget proposal would cut money from this program's budget. exactly how much is not known
