London Bridge is not the only thing falling down


Wall removal

George and I are helping one of his co-workers renovate a house. Yesterday we started tearing down drywall, plaster and lath, and tearing up old disgusting linoleum. Whoever worked on the house in the past did a swell job of patching the place together in the most half-hearted way. Some insulation had been sprayed around the water pipes and the front door in the kitchen, the rest of the kitchen walls were completely uninsulated. In the walls we found: a AAA card, an empty Marlboro carton, a tiny rusted wrench, and the original window weights. Today we head back to clean up our giant mess.
