A tear out party what fun.

When we lived in Atlanta before we had even moved into the house we bought I was patching some mortar on a stone column in the dining/living room. When my husband went to work there where stone columns when he got home there where temp support walls and the columns where gone. Ever since he keeps the sledge hammer and sawsall hidden.

I am real good at tearing down but slow to rebuild. We took out a wall this week and putting in the paralamb (sp) header is harder than we thought. I have it all cut but have to wait till we can get help on the weekend to set it atop its new posts.
