Reference for Bava Batra 13:9

א"ל רבינא לרב אשי מאי שנא מהא דתניא שני אחין שחלקו אחד מהן נטל שדה כרם ואחד מהן נטל שדה לבן יש לו לבעל הכרם ד' אמות בשדה לבן שעל מנת כן חלקו

'Then,' he said, 'let me take it all down and build it up from the ground and put windows in it.' He replied, 'A single new wall in a house, the rest of which is old, would not be firm.' He then said, 'Let me take down the whole house and put windows in the new building.' He replied, 'Meanwhile I have no place wherein to live.' 'I will rent a place for you,' said the other. 'I don't want to bother,' said the first. Said R. Hama [on hearing of the case]: He had a perfect right to stop him. Is not this case the same as the other? Why, then, this repetition? — To tell us [that the owner of the house may exercise his veto] even though he only Uses it for storing straw and wood.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And therefore he cannot say that he will have nowhere to live if it is pulled down. ');"><sup>8</sup></span>
