bare bones

the remaining useful materials from the house were removed last weekend. i pulled up all the hardwood flooring that i could get (with help from dear old dad) to plane down and use as moulding and baseboards in the new house. i wanted to recycle all that i could, and the idea that some of the old house will still be used was one that i really liked.
the power and gas were cut this week (at least i hope they were. i haven't been over there since saturday.) there's really not much left there of worth but the power panel which i'll pull out this week. now its just nailing down some subs to do the demo and excavation and we're off! probably get started right about the time baby king is born...
i'll get over to the place this weekend and try to get a few last pics of what's left before we squash the place.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just when i was about to give up (ok, i wasnt going to give up, but still) we got approved. i dont actually have a permit in my hot little hand. there is still a matter of payment to deal with. but they are all approved!!!!!!!
so i did some hard labor at the house on saturday and got the temp power pole installed. now all that's left to do (before the hopefull demo date of april 1) is get the power disconnected, and remove any last little bit of salvagable material from the house.
its been a long haul. i dont think anyone even reads this anymore. things should start picking up though. tell your friends!
