And the walls came down...

So, today was demo day. Oh, sure, you thought it was last Friday when we had to be out of our family room, right? Well, the kitchen was killed and the master was broken and the walls are down. The trusses and patio go on tomorrow morning.

So, in preparation for demo day, I had to get the rest of the cabinets and the appliances out of the kitchen. This filled the 40-yard dumpster we have and it had to be dumped. The only time I have to work on anything is at night. Did you know that Mesa, AZ has a law prohibiting construction from occurring after 6:00pm? Neither did I. That is until my neighbor came over in her camesol and explained in testy terms that there were ordinances against this sort of thing. So, I politely explained that we were done and that we would not have to bother her beauty sleep (8:00pm by the way and she had obviously missed many other beauty sessions if you catch my drift). I was nice. After I got her laughing, she asked me to convince her husband to make her house bigger. I declined.

Here are some more pictures to give you an idea of the nastiness that is our lives...
