Demolition Day One

A dumpster arrived in our driveway yesterday morning around 8:00. The crew was still in action when Blake and I went to check on the progression of the demolition after work, about 3:30. My oven was in the laundry room. My furniture and other decor were in the bedrooms and garage, and some still sitting on the sub flooring of the house. Most of the hardwood was in the dumpster, except for the hallway. There were tons of staples still in the floor. The shoe molding has also been removed due to damage.

I felt really bad for Blake when we saw the gigantic mess in our home. This is our first home. See, when we moved in the house, it needed alot of cosmetic work. The carpet in the house was goldish, brownish, ugly-ish, and was rolled up, and just a mess. The walls were all white, and so was the linoleum. It is great house, but it the house needed some TLC. So, for the first two years we lived there, it was our project together. We have painted every square inch of the house and replaced every square foot of flooring in the entire house. What was special about the hardwood floors is that Blake (along with a little help from the fam) laid the entire floor himself. He pieced and nailed every plank together. So, seeing it all thrown into a dumpster yesterday made me feel sorry for him, just because he had worked so hard. So, Blake, I am so sorry!

In the scheme of life, this is totally not a big deal. I just think it is pretty crazy that a dishwasher installation has created such havoc. It's is just one of those moments where all you can say is..."Seriously?"

Still can't find my camera cord. Hopefully, today I can rummage around and find it!
