Upcoming Exciting Adventures

Last night as we ate supper outside in our front yard (which was actually quite lovely), Dad introduced what will likely be my newest project starting this week. We are beginning the process of destroying the ill-fated porch that is attached to the Shack. My job for now is to remove the stucco from the outside. Step one will likely be to clear the area at the front of the porch. This will involve relocating a few rocks. The previous owners apparently really liked rocks, because they're all over the yard. Another thing to do will be to obliterate a large shrubbery that's currently in the way of some of the main target (the stucco). Inspecting the stucco last night, I have already spotted a few weak points, and will likely attack strategically... by hacking at it with a crowbar a lot. This should be fun!

I have also come to realize (again) that a great benefit of living in a temporary house is I can cause damage to my walls for fun. Earlier today I made a splendid pattern of dents on a corner piece of wall where the chimney is with the side of a hammer.
