No News - is not always Good news

Nothing is happening - and that's driving me batty!


The city of Richmond has us jumping through hoops - but there has been no visible progress.
As soon as we get anywhere - I'll post.


In the mean time, I have been running around like a looney tune getting my house ready and listing it for sale. Crazy days! 


I thought that keeping the house clean would be torture - but, it's not so bad. 
What's impossible is keeping fresh flowers. My tulips - that look so perfect in the dining room, and in the living room and in my daughters bathroom - keep flopping.
I will go broke trying to keep up with the flowers! Thank goodness that I opted for orchids everywhere else. At least they will live a bit longer.


So...for now...this is where we are...

Little House - NO MO

It was quite a day! 

I was a bundle of nerves last night. I barely slept (2am-4:30am) 

I know that the demolition is really just another step toward our goal - but, I was so anxious about it. 

I am glad that it's over!

Here are a few of the pictures from the demolition - and the friends that gathered for the demolition bagel breakfast that we hosted safely across the street!

The trucks will be back tomorrow

Tomorrow morning - 7am

Well the equipment has arrived - so at least that's a good sign! 

Join us for a bagel tomorrow morning - if you want to watch the little house go down.

Today is the Day!

I hope the weather won't hold things up! 

The salvage guys have really taken things down to the bare bones!

Demo time delayed

Apparently we have been bumped! Our original 7am plan - has been moved back a bit. I hope to have notice so that I can post the time, for those that want to join us. I'd say 1:00pm at the earliest - but, maybe as late as 3:00pm.

Taken apart - little by little...

Monday can't come soon enough! 

I have allowed another guy come in to salvage some things. He has a salvage company - and was clear about his intentions. 

It's amazing how honesty can make all of the difference. He's even taking the nails - and I am fine with that, because I knew the plan. 

I did ask that he leave the mantle, for me , and the front door for my friend.

When I went by to visit the little house, the mantle was gone - and the front door was there, but had been stripped of it's hardware! (Mail slot, dead bolt, etc)

The good news is - as soon as I called, the salvage guy apologized and returned everything. 

I think he must subscribe to the " ask forgiveness - not permission" philosophy! 

Either way - it's fine. I'll have what I need.

All's well that ends well - and this little house is nearing it's end.

Demo date is set!

Monday morning April 23rd,  7am. If you'd like to join us - please do! 


I'll bring some breakfast treats to share. 
I wish that it could be @ 6pm - so it was a bit easier - but, it's not, so we will make the best of it!  


If you can't make it - don't worry. You know that I will take tons of pictures!
