Demolition Derby....


What's a girl to do when she feels her space isn't flowing properly? Ask her husband to knock down a wall of course! Now mind you that her husband may not be too keen on the idea at first, something about money and rerouting duct work. But as soon as he knocked that first hole in the wall to "see what was there", he was hooked! The most excitement came when the kids realized that they could punch, kick or baseball bat the wall down. This kind of stuff doesn't happen everyday at our house! An offense like that will usually get you a good spanking or grounded for the next century, but not this time....BATTER UP!!



In a house that you didn't build yourself, you can never be too sure what will be underneath when you start yanking down important structural items. We were fairly lucky. We will have to reroute duct work and build a facade to make things look symmetrical, but other than that it will be fabulous! The space is now completely opened up and flooded with light, and since the floors are a little uneven, we agreed we will need to redo them also! I'm so excited!!

Maybe we could start a side business: Homeschool Demolition and Destruction Services; you build it we tear it down!
