1.) there a lot of standing around looking at machines.
2.) then some one goes off to fetch a doohicky from the truck.
3.) now we’re making A METRIC TON of noise. YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!
4.) Um, Maybe it’s not sapposed to be all billows of smoke so early in the morning?
5.) then THIS YAHOO picks up this whatchamacallit and makes even MOAR NOYSE.
6.) Fast shutter speed makes it look like he’s not even moving. but trust me. he’s a shimmying and shaking!
from now till Turkey day this’ll be my life. and honestly i kinda love it. remind of that when it’s 3 days in and i can’t think straight and my neighbours are prepping a motion to SUE. punitive damages. noise abatement. whatever. Mr CM has gone off to fetch the EXCAVATOR and i’m left with a laundry list of things to move.
P.S. i wanna ride in the EXCAVATOR…

As the Lounge looked upon first Viewing. we made an offer upon second viewing in March 2009
11/18/09 Ev moved out. So i took down her interior wall and opened up the space. note the icky tile floor.
Egg’s room. as it looked when we installed the steel wrap around beam over this wood beam.
(11/28/2010) Egg’s room as it looks currently. turns out his room is not sound proof. i know, right? why didn’t they build rooms to house noisy gamer rock music
playing teenagers. So because i can, i’ve ripped up his room. will rewire, insulate and hang VERY EXPENSIVE sound board sheet rock.
also he will get new floor, as will the lounge and my office (Ev’s Ex-room)
Note: missing icky tile!! this is the view from Eggs door frame into the office & lounge. and River, my fat Bengal baby.
she’s up for rehoming btw. tho she comes w/a gf.
looking from pool deck into Lounge. can’t wait to see the new floor!!! i hope it’s as perfect as i’m expecting.

Towner Day 1 -sad to not be able to save the tile work. but i’m revamping this loo completely
Towner Day 2 -BuhBye grotesque 68 year old rotten floor.
Towner Day 8 – waiting to contact the Historical Society before we pull out the original tub.
8 days in and the whole house looks like this. right up to the roof rafters. kinda cool.
next up the electrician comes in and does a complete rewire. the plumber too will be there. only his job is particularly taxing. replacing ALL EVERY SINGLE cast iron pipe. even the ones that lead out to street side sewer. yup that involves trenching. in 2 places. one of those trenches will be shared with the new electrical/cable. buried lines FTW!
sorry about the delay. had some site issues and the holidaze was upon me.

Last night I cleared the shelves and took them down.
Today Mr CM & Crew came over and took out a wall! The past week has been spent inside the room. Demoed the interiors. Removed replaced upgraded electric, cat6, phone, cable, Ethernet. We installed a heat sensitive fan in the closet w exhaust to exterior of house. Insulated EVERYWHERE. Used special sound proofing drywall on the shared wall w my gamer/dj son. Regular drywall elsewhere. THEN we tore the wall down. All last week it served as a barrier to drywall dust and noise. Next up is a steel beam across the joist. More pictures when that happens…
