Demo day eight-hundred million, six-hundred and fifty-four thousand, five-hundred and eighty. Not really, but it seriously feels like it. When we will stop demoing? I am ready for a new blog category! Sigh I’ve got this sneaking suspicion that this is what hell may be like. Demoing with no end in sight. Not a breath of cool breeze. Never ending thirst, 100+°F weather with the sun radiating directly down on me without even a hair of shade, while the drywall and sawdust clings to my sweat covered skin.

It’s okay, I know you’re just jealous,…

Solid As a Rock
When you build a house from scratch you have to start by clearing the land, grading the property, building a pad, then digging footings, and if that doesn’t sound foreign enough you have to actually know how to do them (not just what those crazy words mean). When you build an addition, preparing the site is not as big of a job as preparing for an entire house and anyone could probably do it (if you can dig a hole that is)…at least that is what Mike told me.
