Construction!
Yay - construction has begun. Yesterday and today were fun - demolition. The asbestos siding is off the garage and back of the house, the moldy garage was torn down and now they are digging a big pit for the basement.
I’ll be posting a few of the construction photos here and will put all of them on smugmug during the remodel so this blog doesn’t become This Old House. Photos from today are here: Construction Day 2 on SmugMug.
If you read all the captions and notice names - Jim the builder is not the same as Jim the boyfriend. Guess it was the year to bring guys named Jim into my life. Jim the builder was recommended to me by Cynthia after she read a post about me planning a remodel. Thanks Cynthia!
I’ve made no time for art the last few days due to an unplanned root canal for my 16 yr old son this morning. Fingers cross that we are now on the upside of this process of repairing a broken tooth (pellet from an airsoft gun - hurray for boys).

Hope all is well! Candy

Woohoo - this is going to be great!
Say hello to Jim from me and Ron. I enjoy looking at construction photos and can’t wait to see the afters.
And, if you do take an earth mover on a joy ride, please do share the photographs or video…
