Saturday March 24th.
We got 2 more exterior walls that need to come down. Kory picked the smallest of the two. The wall where our front door is.
I am so ready to be done with the brick and the mess it makes!
We did have smiles for most of the day!
Everyone got a turn with the mini sledge knocking out bricks.
Emily wanted to be our sweeper!
The brick walls are filled with this tiny little black lava rock. They get all over the place! I swear I'm going to be sweeping it up for forever!
Once the wall was down Hunter needed to remove a portion of the wood floor.
We hung a tarp to keep the inside as clean and dust free as possible for the next part. Kory started to smooth the cement so that we could build the wall. Everything was going great until this point. For no apparent reason the saw quit working. Kory took it apart to try to see what the problem was. He couldn't figure it out. He made a few phone calls to see if any of our friends had a grinder that would work. No one had one. So 3 stores later he came home with a new grinder. Unfortunately it set us back about 3 hours. While he was gone we were sweeping and cleaning up the mess. Then at 7pm we had to stop and attend an outdoor wedding reception of one of Kory's employees and a neighbor. When we left for the reception we were ready to build the wall.
When we got back from the reception about 7:30 we took down the tarps, framed the wall and then sheeted it. This is the room that the kids are sleeping in. It's still getting down to the 40's at night and they needed some protection from the outside elements.
It was about 9:30 when we were done for the night! We started about 9 am it still amazes me how long some of these things take us. Funny part is that we no longer have a front door. We will have to use the back door to get in and out of the house for a little while.
