Superhuman strengths




"Amy's Door" drawn in soot by Willis

Willis & Ethel, aka Amy's Mom and Dad, covered in soot

The long hallway--what the house would look like with no center bathroom



yep, that's right--our 3rd full dumpster


Toolbelts hung by the chimney with care



A clean room!!



More hallway pics



Ceiling beams resting on the floor

June 20-22 Weekend

Kade and GMan installed the large picture window * Kade cut the grass * Mom and Dad came to visit * Never thought they'd get that dirty in a gutted house * Also never thought a house had that many nails * Mom was a champion at dumping buckets * Dad scrapped the front porch columns * Kade & GMan pulled out bathroom floors * Mom and I braved Wal-mart * Having no toilets is intersting * I think a shop vac is the world's greatest invention * I tore out last remaining plaster/lat sections from the top of the ladder * We have mini cucumbers & the corn is growing fast * Garden hose water is not that warm when you're taking a shower in it * Got some good pizza at Michael's with everyone * Dad and I moved more lat to the wood pile * Dad wrote notes in the soot dust for me to find * I climbed on the baker's rack and held a ceiling beam--I am She-Ra * Kade removed the ceiling beams in the dining room * We closed up the dumpster * Kade, I mean He-Man, booby trapped the dumpster door with the toilet * Our work here this weekend is done! *

You really should not put...Having no toilets is intersting and I think a shop vac is the world's greatest invention...right next to each other in your list. Could be misinterpreted

This is why your next house will be brand new! Hope you guys have been wearing masks... how many weekends of soot can you really take?
