It was a beautiful, not so typical, late November Day (Nov. 23, 2015). Phil was on vacation, so chose to spend a day working on the house. The kids and I had school. Amongst the hustle and bustle of the morning, as we tried to get out of the house and on our way to school, I asked Phil to please not get up high or do anything crazy, since he'd be working there alone. My fear was that he'd try to "tackle" the ceiling above the open staircase. Phil tends to be a bit accident prone, so it should be of no surprise that I would ask this of him. It wasn't until several days later that I asked to see the pictures from his work that day. I came across the following photos: I wasn't sure what these photos were, so proceeded to ask Phil. Of course he grinned, and responded that they were the windmill blades. "It was a nice calm day!" Phil reasoned. So much for staying close to the ground that day! Oh well...he survived and it was much better that I wasn't around to watch! Many of the blades are missing, so he was hoping to get a model number so that we can try to find replacement blades. As far as work that day, he totally finished the north upstairs bedroom, including clean-up, which is a big job. He then proceeded to tear out the north and east sides of the upstairs hallway. The pictures below show the "before", but he didn't snap any "afters". We'll get those the next time we are there. As the weather is colder, it isn't as tempting to go work on the house, with the windows open for ventilation. However, we are really quite happy with what we've accomplished so far. We have the following left to remove walls: one bedroom on main floor, 3 walls in bathroom, the hallway on main floor, the west side of hallway upstairs. We have far more done, than what we have remaining to do for tear down; that's a great feeling!
