"The Kids Are Stripping!"

...But in a good way." Hubby thought he was pretty funny. And also decided he'd make a good blog post title writer.

In more prep for the garage project, part of the carport has to come down. The roofing needs to be removed so we can get to the structure of the roof in order to dismantle it. --OK, probably not "we." I will be glad to watch, take pictures, report on the blog, and even make snacks and beverages. But this is one part with which I think (I hope) I'll be no direct help, except for organization and clean-up underneath.

I'm not even necessarily happy to watch at this point, because I don't like to see the kids working up on a roof...10 feet above the ground. But they are confident, sure-footed, and careful.

Sanding and painting porches... Not a fun job! And is it horribly hot, too?

Having done a fair amount of demo in my own remodeling projects, I was surprised to see your guys apparently with no safety gear on, not even work gloves, let alone eye protection. I've had a couple of eye injuries in my life and I can tell you they are exquisitely painful and can take a long, long time to heal, even when there's no permanent damage. Anyway, just a thought.

I expressed those thoughts exactly. The work glove thing is something I let them live and learn on, after advising, depending on the project. The eye protection thing is something I insist on, and have to go out and remind about, especially in hot weather. When they're standing around in between tasks (for photo ops), the steamy glasses come off. Close work and/or power tools require eye protection, no question.

WD loves demo, too! He's getting excited about the future cottage project(a couple of walls are coming down as well as all the siding and old windows.) It must be terrific to have such a great work crew on hand. Thanks for sharing.
