Since being awake so early, I decided to set aside WoW for the moment and put some pics together of what has transpired with the building of our home - or more accurately - the destruction of our old home.
For those of you who may not know, we have donated our home to the local fire department to permit them access to our home for training purposes. While the city does not allow burning of homes, they do allow tearing them apart as though the home was to be made of swiss cheese. In the pictures to follow, you will see that the fire department have really taken this to heart.
Remember now - these pictures are clickable and the post is likely to go over multiple pages.
This first picture is of Jordyn's room looking in from the outside:
As you can see, the fire department took great care so as to not ruin Jordyn's nice paint job on the inside...
I think Jordyn may have just discovered that sandwich she left under her bed in 2005...
Air conditioning - Clampette style :)
Hailey's bedroom - aside from the gaping hole in the side, this is what my bedroom used to look like when I was teenager.
This is looking in from the outside wall through Hailey's room and into Sharon's and my room. As you can see, we will no longer be able to get changed in private :P
Here is the front door(s) quite literally into the living room :)
Tanks for the memories...
Ahhhh, and one of my favorite pics...Living room/dining room looking into the master bedroom - with a little cieling missing thrown in for good measure.
We had the hazmat team out to remove all asbestos from the kitchen
Home, sweet home.
Fire department tearing your house apart: 2 weeks of waiting
Hazmat team removing asbestos: $1500
Watching 980 square feet of living space get hauled away in a dumpster: $16,000
Living in an apartment with shitty pipes that wake you every morning: ...priceless
(stay tuned... this is likely to change :))
