This past weekend was a lot of fun. We started stripping the plaster off the walls in order to get things ready for Todd.
Growing up in Italy I have only seen buildings made of bricks and dealing with wood is a totally new and exciting experience. It is amazing how easily you can take down a wall and how much fun it can be. As many other things demolishing is a better activity if friends join to help. Gene was there all weekend, John joined the hammering on Saturday and Tony came by on Sunday to help taking off some trimming. We also decided do hire Jaime to help us and he was a life saver, especially when we decided to take the plaster off the ceiling. Luckily for me Phyllis provided lunch for everyone on Sunday -Great tuna sandwich and refreshing iced tea.
