My Mom and Dad built the Kiddie kollege the year Brian was born so if you know how old Brian is you know how old the Kiddie Kollege is... Well they did an amazing job. Dad built things to last and last if one nail was needed then 3 or 4 were even better.
Since Mom died and Liseanne and I have been running the school we have been really crowed in the Yak Yak room, so I decided that it was time to remodel and make more room. The only time we used the office was to hang our coats and do the books. the rest of the time we didn't use it, and were in the yak yak room (our work room)
So here are the pictures of the demolition:
I couldn't believe all the STUFF we have in the yak yak room...I had to cover it so the kids wouldn't want to play with everything.
The first to go was the paneling in the office then the wall between the office and the yak yak room
Mike got more help than he wanted....they each had to have gloves because Mike had gloves
Don't do this at home......
they each had to have a turn with the hammer GREAT FUN!
the hammer was almost bigger then he was.... but he had to have his turn
they were so nice to the kids that wanted to help so they pulled the wall board down in small pieces so the kids could haul it to the dumpster
and even let them knock down a few 2x4s the kids were in seventh heaven
get a harder swing
NO more wall
Ann just vacuumed that floor!!!! Sorry Ann!!!
who would have thought we would have filled the dumpster
can you see the Wall board that's my dad use every bit you have and use it some where ....this was under the paneling in the office.
even the shelves went out and a new wall up.... it will have insulation so maybe it will be warmer in the winter
Mike and his brothers are finished for the day... they left some spider webs so dad got the vacuum and got rid of them.......he is standing in what used to be the office
not much left of the 2 rooms
Did I say how excited I am to get this done!!!!! Thank You Mike, Mark, and Tony.
Remember.... well the drywall men came in and taped the walls then Galen and I painted the wall and then Mike and his brother came in and built the shelves.
We got up the next day and painted the shelves...It took us longer to paint the shelves than the rest of the room.
Look at all the shelf space I have.
Next came the carpet.
Can't really see the color but it's a dark grey with different colors in it.
Time to move every thing back in and find a new home for every thing.
Monday the electrician will come and put the finish on the plugs and lights.
when It's done tomorrow I'll take a better picture and you can see how much more room we have....Because there is now a window it doesn't feel like a dungeon.
