Demolition Day.

Salon Ori went from bad to worse yesterday. All in the name of getting better.

We started a to-do list, but unfortunately we weren't able to properly mark anything off. Just about everything on the list has been addressed, but nothing has been totally completed.

The boys got to have their fun. When the sledgehammer showed up, dreams of reckless destruction came over all. Tony and his brother, Shawn, were forced to hold back and use their small crowbars for their first project. Subsequently, Shawn never got the glory of half-hazard sledgehammer destruction. Augie and Tony prevailed and took out a few well worn walls.Shawn ready for work.

More scraping was accomplished. Becky, Tony's mother, came and provided release from the monotony of hours full of paint removal. This project just may deter us from ever wanting to scrape anything again.

We feel very fortunate to have such a great network of friends and family willing to help us out! Without them, this project would be impossible!
