Home Improvement: Closet Removal

Part of our new master plan for bedroom remodeling has begun.

First, we need to get rid of the pesky carpet.

Next, we bring the FIL down to help with some destruction.

Preparing for a mess…

Plaster is unfun to remove. It’s also extremely heavy to carry out, and is full of lots of small pieces of sharp wire.

About 4 hours, a few trips to the dumpster, and a few cuts later…

So there’s still work to be done, but we got the hard part out of the way. Now we just have to remove the studs that were supporting the wall and patch up the holes. Fortunately, I’ve got someone lined up to do this part for us, since it’s a bit beyond what we’re comfortable performing. But we saved ourselves a few hundred dollars doing this demolition work ourselves

    So, did you notice there are lots and lots of floating globes/orbs in many of these pictures? Some people believe these are angels or, if you don’t like that term, protective forces of good which surround all of us.

    hey viv, can you please fax me some of what you’re smoking.

    kthxbye

    Are there or are there not orbs floating in almost every picture before the dust gets kicked up? Someone at least tell me that I am not seeing things that aren’t there.

    Yeah, I hadn’t noticed. We’ll hope they’re good spirits, and they bring luck in remodeling.

    Alternatively, it might just be crud on the camera lens.

    Clean your lens and see what happens, I guess.

    Craig and I first had orbs like this show up in pictures taken in our basement in MO. We cleaned our camera lens and continued to get the orbs in select photos. We’ve also had them in a variety of random photos taken over the last few years. We never know that they’re there until we upload our pictures to the computer.

    P.S. They’re definitely GOOD spirits.

    I checked the camera lens last night. There were a few spots. We’ll be on the lookout for more orbs.

    all your “orbs” are belong to crud, optical artifacts, or some other highly explainable phenomenon
