What comes down must get picked up eventually

When I tore everything out of the living room, I just piled it onto the porch.

This is what greeted Wes when he got home.  Luckily I had Skyped with him earlier in the week so he had an idea of what was going on in his absence!  LOL

I was going to put it all on the curb, nails and all, with a “FREE” sign on it…but then my neighbor said he’d take it and I didn’t want to give it to him with all the nails sticking out so I spent the day pulling nails out of all the 2×4’s and trim and stacking it neatly.

Then I decided I might as well reuse it myself and save a couple hundred bucks since it now looks like a nice, manageable pile of usable lumber!

I better bake some cookies for my neighbor now because I’m not delivering any wood.

Wonder if he wants a bunch of drywall scraps…?

‘Cause this crap is still sitting on my porch!

  2. For the drywall/wood or the cookies? LOL

  3. My husband is so miserable when there is demo going on that I try to do it when he’s gone. (And it is nice to avoid having to play 20 questions!)

    Thank goodness for Skype! I’m sure you’ll put that lumber to some good use with future framing. I’ll bet your garbage man is going to love you – lol

  5. So glad you can reuse the wood scraps. Now about those drywall scraps. . . . maybe you can start a new trend – Drywall mosaic walls!

    No? Not feeling it? 🙂
