Flipping Lincoln Avenue: A Peek into the House’s Past

Flipping Lincoln Avenue: A Peek into the House’s Past

Demo Therapy.

First, I need to show you my cute girls doing demo. They think its fun because they can swing a hammer around for 10 minutes and then be done. It’s a good way to get out pent-up middle and elementary school angst.

Beautiful or ugly?

This stuff is called lath and plaster. It was used to make walls until the 1950’s, when it was replaced with drywall. I find it really unusual and sort of beautiful. I’m trying to figure out what I can make with it. Any suggestions?

Archeological dig, anyone?

One of the unexpected pleasures of doing demo is finding out what’s underneath. It’s like uncovering the different personalities the home has taken on over the decades. Check these out.

Take it easy.

Savannah is chilling out while excavation and destruction happens all around her. Next time is the not-so-beautiful uncovering of the stinky carpet.
