Day 3

Day 3 was pretty long in our reno world. I organized what seemed like a million people to provide services or products or to take away treasures from the demolition. I felt like a big fat spider in the centre of my computer and cell phone web, snaring anyone who came within range. Derek and Jim continued the demolition of anything that came within their range and have done about 2 weeks work in 3 days (with BIG help on Monday).

My bathroom layout plan stuck on the wall so NO ONE can forget!

An artist friend came by at 6:30 and managed to put my 7 foot studio easel into her tiny KIA Rio car which was impressive, and then Jim & I picked up the Tweedie truck and made a Home Depot run for 2x4s and the like. 9:15 found us with our feet up.

For funny, it would be hard to beat the half hour it took for Jim & Derek to tie down a toilet in the back of a pickup. Anna arrived, thankfully, just as J&D were leaving otherwise it would have been me dealing with the toilet and that would not have been funny at all. The guys tried leave it standing so the bolts wouldn't get broken, which evoked the image of driving down the highway with someone sitting on the toilet...! I don't know how many university degrees there were standing around that truck but omg it was a funny experience, worthy of YouTube had I had my wits about me. Having assured us she would be careful Anna tore out of the complex like a bat out of hell, still laughing.

they finally laid it down
