I got a text from Britt on Friday (1/31/2014), the ‘builders are here’ it was 3pm. I called Scott, couldn’t reach him. Stover, who had been at home all day, had said nothing. It turns out a warm spell was expected for the weekend, so the Builder brought his team in on Friday to close off the kitchen openings. By the time I got home on Friday, I had a closed in kitchen and a door, yikes! The plan was they would return on Saturday to demolish the old addition.

Saturday morning was a bit of a panic as we scrambled to ensure all our ‘stuff’ was out of the way. We salvaged some stuff, then we watched it all happen. The photos don’t quite capture the shaking of the house as the pieces are pulled apart.

Little pig, little pig, let me come in.

Videos: a last look, first swing, some more, from the kitchen, the corner goes (more to come from the girls iTouches)

A few hours later there isn’t much left. The addition has become a subtraction.

That was a ceiling.
