Demolition madness! (with a lotta help from my friends)
Demolition has started. We have been tearing down just about everything. Fortunately I have wonderful friends who have broken their backs, punctured their flesh and generally made themselves miserable to bring this house some new life. First I would like to thank those who helped:
- Emily Anleu (my wonderful girlfriend and biggest helper ever!)
- Mike Livingston
- Jeff Klug
- Michael Parker
- Clint
- Eric Hall (of Avatar Training Studio)
- Nick Buettner
- Molly Green
- Blake Darsow
- Suzanne Pfeiffer
I am so thankful for all of your help!!!
