We're pretty tired and this is gonna be as quick as I can make it.
We're at about 60% completion on the main level interior wall demolition.
We mostly just have the perimeter walls left.
We'll stomp the ceiling plaster down after we get the roof off in the next week.
*We hope that's done in the next week, anyway*
Let me tell you somethin'...
plaster - thick plaster - and button board is some tough stuff to take down.
I'm talkin'
T.U.F.F.TOUGH.
In comparison, it makes sheetrock seem like construction paper.
Yeah.

We are so happy to be mostly done with that.
We uncovered the backside of the fireplace.
It makes kind of a cool photo, I thought.
And we had a special helper come by today.
This cowboy thought it was pretty awesome that he could
take a hammer to Poppo and Nonna's walls and
he really went to town in earnest.
It was fun to watch him work that hammer like a determined little man.
Cupcake refused to get involved in such nonsense.
She just reached those precious little hands upward and said to me, "Hold you?"
She wanted outta that mess.
*Such a girly-girl*
And, of course, after a long day of hard, sweaty work...
a bath is mandatory.
Good night
and
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
ps...I can't wait to tell you about surprise visitors that dropped in on us today. We were so delighted. It'll have to wait, though. Really gotta git ta bed now.
