Rubble

I had things to do this weekend that involved grout, trim, and the miter saw. But the boys looked like they were having so much fun tearing things down in the house I just had to join it.

With the roof on, we needed to get the rest of the existing drywall and plaster off the studs to get everything ready for utilities.

One day of hot, sweaty work and everything is off the walls.

I spent the majority of the day hauling wheelbarrow loads of plaster out the door, across the makeshift ramp, and into the dumpster.

I only almost fell in once.

I'm not interested in a mediocre life. I'm here to kick ass or die.

THE STORYTELLER

Back in 2004 I started writing about my adventures in fixing up houses on the internet. A lot of things have changed since then, with me, with my houses, and with the internet. These days I am basically a cranky old man trapped in a slightly less old woman’s body. The internet has changed and I am staunchly refusing to change with it. You won’t find any algorithms here, or feeds, or ads, or social media. Just good old-fashioned stories about a woman drinking beer and building shit, and living an unexpected life.
