Chimney in the Grass

I took the kids by our 'old' house today to see the remodel progress. Britten's comment was - 'Mommy, Our Chimney is in the Grass!'. He's correct. The work officially started Monday. Our kitchen has been completely torn out, the den/dining room wall is gone, the chimney and fireplace are gone, the outside patio and arbor are gone and the flooring is gone from the living room, dining room and kitchen. We have reached the point of no return. I anticipate that they will begin the forms for the new foundation tomorrow and maybe pour early next week. This means we'll be looking for framers soon.... Any volunteers? Dad, Simon, Joe, Ben, Nathan?????? It's quick and easy work. You can crash on an air matress in the living room. We still have running water and power.
There were no eggs in the chicken coop when I went by today. Either the girls are on strike or something or someone is helping themselves to the eggs. Oh well. We're at Chris' parents house if anyone needs to contact us. Oh yeah, I'm not sure where we packed our cameras so no pictures until I find them.
