BIG progress happening!!

Today, I visited our house and I barely recognized it. Most of the walls are gone on the main level and the floors are getting torn up.  I am amazed at how quickly demolition can go.  I was beginning to be able to visualize what the new floor plan will look like.  It's very exciting!!






While I was there moving some remaining items to the basement and the container, I was transported back to my childhood.  I am a carpenter's daughter and I remember going to work with my Dad when I was growing up.  Long before "Take Your Child to Work Day," my Dad would occasionally take me to work with him.  More often than not, I was given the job of picking up scrap at the job site.  I was never a big fan of that job; I would have preferred pounding nails or running around, or better yet...coffee break!!  I'm sure that I was not a very productive worker when I went with him, but those are wonderful memories that I will always have!  One smell that I remembered from my growing up years is the smell of freshly-sawn wood.  Yesterday, I was reminded of younger days, when I would go to work with my Dad, when I experienced that smell again.  Ahhh....what a nice memory!

Well, as you can see, the project is progressing quickly!  I cannot wait to see what will happen next.  It's changing every day now.

TTFN!
