AHHHHH......the beauty of demolition!!!!

By a bit after nine this morning, the two trucks, each pulling a long trailer, arrived and backed into the driveway........as the rains continued to deluge TheHowserHouse. After a bit of discussion with me, the crew brought the tools inside......and for the rest of the day, the crowbars, hammers, and other instruments of destruction were working furiously. By the end of the afternoon, there were no cabinets on the wall or floor, the built-in pantry was not longer there, the appliances were all gone,and the layers of flooring were almost gone.

UGLY!!!!!!! An honest description of the room where the kitchen used to be..........various paint colors exposed, large swatches of ancient wallpaper were visible, and nail holes, screws protruding, and strange holes in the walls......all of this where our former kitchen used to be. Will it ever be done???? OF COURSE it will......and soon we will be enjoying the rewards of all of our stressed out shopping and decisions and arguments!!

A few decisions need to be made as to exactly where we want to locate the electrical outlets, the switches, and exactly where we want the recessed canned lights placed in the ceiling. Nothing major........just the final little details!!!

And so.........after all of the banging, sawing, groaning with the weight of the appliances, etc., etc., etc......the day has come to a close........and with the excitement of a glass half-full type of day.......

Life is Great......and I hope it is for all of you, also.
