clear the deck!
this morning two burly men arrived to tear the side off our house.
among other projects (finishing paul's workshop with windows instead of a garage door; replacing some rotting basement windows; closing off an exterior door or two), we'd asked them to remove the balcony that protruded off the side of the house.
i'd hated it since before we bought the house. it was badly in need of paint when we moved in, and had only deteriorated, with palm-sized flakes of paint shedding with every puff of wind and the rot increasing with every drop of rain.
and now, it is gone.
enjoy the magic with me, won't you?
