A Touch More Destruction



Aren't these tulips lovely? In the background of the shot you can see some reno rubble..



Andrea mentioned in the comments of the last post that the house looked as though it had been built in bits and pieces, which is absolutely true. Back in the '80's someone owned the house who thought they were quite the "Mr. Fixit", and added a little here and a little there, until finally the entire back section of the house was a sort of Frankenstein-ish monstrosity. Our contractor has told me that our house is considered a "bad" house according to our local land titles department due to all the work that's been done without permits. However, we're putting it all back to right.

Let's pick up where we left off, this is the house first thing this morning...

Below is the stove portion of the kitchen before today...





then windows gone...



and stove gone...



gas fireplace gone...



some fancy new plywood walls (who needs windows?).



These are just temporary...



A little al fresco dismantling...



and by the end of day, the little section where the stove was is all gone.



Tomorrow should see the end of the morning room.

A Mr FixIt with no permits, huh? I imagine the electrical and plumbing are a nightmare to behold! I forsee many meals out in the near future too. ;)
