After last week's clean-out of barn and attic and stuff left behind, we've finally started demolition!
Eric has been at the house most nights late, late, late! This is so different from our last construction project together because I could do so much more. Now, I'm helping but I'm also keeping the kids safe and entertained while I work on my projects, or keeping them on bedtime routines and Hannah's dance commitments.
Saturday, we had Silvia and Emily watch the kids which helped a lot! The kids went to two parks in town as well as just played.all.day and Eric, Marcus and I worked on the house.
1. remove trim from doors and windows

2. (cover mouth and eyes and remove all plaster)
3. remove A.L.L. nails from wood, and yes, even those in the ceiling!

| thought it was cool to help, until it wasn't.... |

| look at what was behind the plaster! No insulation, but solid walls | |

4. remove bathroom sink, tub and walls... and look! friends want to help. Sherry came for a tour and ended up in a hazmat mask! (her choice, really!)
