Since Tad has been out of work, he's been looking for things to occupy his time. (He says I'm finding things for him to do--Maybe I am.) When we bought our house, there was a wood burning stove in the family room downstairs. The original owners had bricked around it, but we sold the stove about 2 years ago, so we've wanted to do something different with the family room. Tad decided that he could take the bricks off the walls and the floor, so that we can sheetrock and recarpet when we have money to do so. He had gotten this nifty new hammer drill shortly before Christmas, and has been aching to use it. We bought a chisel bit and he's gone crazy with it. This photo was taken on Tuesday, Jan 18 and by Wednesday afternoon he had all the brick off this wall. It'll take about 2 more days to do the other wall, and 2 or 3 more days to do the floor.
I'll post more pictures as he gets more done. This is a big project that we've wanted to do for a long time. We also have plans to remodel our bathroom, tear out the hot tub and install a shower stall. Hopefully he gets rehired soon so that we can get working on some of these plans and ideas.
