I got home from work Friday night to some demolition in progress. I am so glad they have finally begun. We (the contractors and I both) all want this part done so the real building can begin. They figure once the framing starts it will be quick. Unfortunately the exterior paint will not be done until the spring. It has to be over 50 degrees for over 5 hours for it to dry properly.

So how scary is it to have your house torn down in the middle of winter? Not too bad I must say. I think I was more nervous waiting for them to begin.

This final picture is me standing in what used to be my totally enclosed mud room. I can tell you I have some definitely pissed off cats that are wondering where their sleeping room has gone.
