So much for putting this place back together...

This past weekend was supposed to be all about 'putting up walls'...but then our very good friend Joe came over...and more walls came down. The good news is that there are almost no more walls to come down, which means we have no choice but to start putting this place back together! Hopefully by next week's blog entry we'll see some reel progress...

Walls and cieling were taken out in the main floor living room...

Kenney's token 'action shot' which we'll let him get away with now that he has celebrated the first anniversary of his 30th birthday ;)

Mike's join forces and take down the ceiling...Kelly is in the attic, drop-kicking the drywall...he will be sad for the destruction phase to end...

Chillin' in the attic...waiting for a Blue...

Bringing down the house...

We put Zac to work taking down the chimney...

Joe's moving so fast he's blury...the chimney is gone!

Why have a truck if you can't fill it with junk?

We have the best friends ever!

Thanks to our amazing friends and fam...demo day was a HUGE success. The entire basement suite is gutted, the wall between the kitchen and living room is torn down, closets are ready to be expanded...we are well on our way to start putting this house back together. Thank you to Kenney, Jill, Kelly, Parker, Taryn, Lindy, Joe W., Lindsay, Luis, Jamie, Dallas, Tyler, Chris, Gill & Joe

A little piece of Brockville...

Who would have thought that buried deep in our walls, more than 5000 kilometres away from where we grew up, would be a little piece of Brockville, Ontario. We believe Smart's used to be a hardware store back in the day...anyone know what this is?

Let the demolition begin...

419 East 19th Avenue, Vancouver, BC

Our first house! We decided to start a blog where we could chronicle our renovations and share our experiences with our friends and families that aren't here to take down a wall for themselves.

March 4th, 2006 is the official demo day. Check back on Monday for before pictures...and some pics of the hooligans with sledgehammers.
