Home (DE)struction









Well,
Nothing like a slow weekend spent with a claw hammer, a sledge and a pry bar trying to demolish a bathroom. Here are some pix of the bathroom, before, during and after the demolition. Things we found...

Very scary wiring....from one outlet to another with plugs underneath the counter top!

Decent tile......right on top of beautiful 70s linoleum....so much for proper backerboard.

No waterproof wall board here.....

Oh yeah, after spending all day Saturday pulling down cabinets, vanitys, drywall, I was going to run to the dump early Sunday morning to make room in the garage for the car. Forecast weather: maybe 1/2 to 1 inch of snow starting at 8 am, turning to rain by noon. That is the largest 1/2 inch of snow I've ever seen....and it didn't stop until 4 pm!!!

AF Memorial




Today was blustery and cold here in DC, but in honor of my fathers service we went to the AF Memorial next to the Old Navy Barracks on the hill above the Pentagon. The view of DC from the memorial is awesome!! A must see, although I would wait for a warmer day next time. Looking straight up from the spires is a dizzying experience.
