Demo Day 2

What's up!! We got most everything accomplished today that we wanted to - all the wall is removed except for 3 original studs. Part of our kitchen was added onto, prob about 20 years ago. Instead of extending a certain beam they ended it and rested it on these studs, so we're going to have to do some reinforcing before we can remove these studs. Regardless, we made a big showing today.












Demo is such a messy job. There is dust EVERYWHERE in our house. Every room, every piece of furniture. I swear, even Pippin is dusty. He decided not to help today and instead sunned himself in the den. I do have some cute videos of him and the demo I need to upload, though. He makes his thoughts on the deconstruction QUITE clear.













I don't see how people do this for a living, day in and day out. It's truly exhausting. And it gives us some serious appetite!! We went out for Indian tonight and absolutely pigged out. I feel like a bottomless pit at the end of the day when we sit down for a good meal.

I didn't run this morning, I figure I'm doing cross training with this project. Besides, it was 28 degrees when I got up and I wasn't into that. I'm running the Country Music Half in a few weeks, but I don't really think I need to do any specific training for it between now and then. I will run as much as I can, but with all we have to do on the kitchen this next month the CMM 1/2 will be more of a training run than a race for me. On a side note in the mail today we got our Resident notification for the race since we live so close to it!! It tells us of all the road closures and such in our 'hood. I wish it ran closer to our house, but it does run on our street, just 1.75 miles down!

Happy Easter everyone!
