Someday, We Will Move!

Demolition work has FINALLY started on the Flanders house. Amazing, but true. We will move hopefully this year.

Here are some before photos:


And some after:

It turns out there is a lot of asbestos in the house, so that all has to get removed. You can see how dusty it is in this last photo. All the workers were wearing industrial strength dust masks, and of course me, Paul, the contractor, architect, et. al were not. Duh.

The house is in worse shape than we thought. One of the descriptors in the brochure when we were looking at this house was "good bones!"--ha, what a joke. One good discovery during demo was vaulted ceilings! So now we are getting rid of the attic to have high ceilings, which is fine by us.

Wow! Thats looks like a lot of work and a lot of space. I am very excited for you guys. I'm sure August will love all that play space. Good luck on your renovation.
