DESTRUCTION!








MY PARENTS BEDROOM HAS TURNED INTO A CONSTRUCTION ZONE.  WE (yes, I've been helping) HAVE BEEN DOING THE DEMOLITION OURSELVES.  AND, SOME THINGS WE DIDN'T WANT DEMOED HAVE BEEN UNFORTUNATELY.  FOR INSTANCE, THERE IS A MIRROR THAT HANGS AT THE END OF THE LONG HALLWAY ON OUR FIRST FLOOR THAT ENDS BY THE BATHROOM FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH OUR HOUSE.  IT SHARES A WALL THAT IT HANGS TO WITH THE CLOSET OF MY PARENTS BEDROOM.  THIS WALL WAS PARTIALLY DEMOED ON THE SIDE OF THE CLOSET, BUT NOT ON THE SIDE THAT HOLDS THE MIRROR.  WELL, THIS MORNING WE ALL AWOKE (Dad didn't hear a thing!) TO A VERY LOUD CRASH.  I THOUGHT MY MOM WAS UNLOADING THE DISHWASHER AND UNLOADING STRESS AT THE SAME TIME AND BANGING PLATES AND CUPS TOGETHER REALLY LOUD FOR SOME REASON.  THEN WHEN I WOKE UP AND REALIZED THE MIRROR CRASHED I ASKED MY MOM WHAT HAPPENED.  SHE THOUGHT THE LOUD CRASH WAS ME DROPPING THINGS, AND THEN SHE WOKE UP WHILE I WAS STILL SLEEPING AND SAW THE CRASHED MIRROR IN MILLIONS OF PIECES.  SO, LESSON LEARNED.  WE MAY NOT BE THE SMARTEST ABOUT DEMO, AS DUST IS ALL OVER THE BASEMENT JUST BELOW WHERE THE BEDROOM IS, BUT WE GET THE JOB DONE.  IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR DEMO HELP, I CHARGE $10 AN HOUR, HAVE MY OWN CROW BAR AND A RECIPROCATING SAW.  I KNOW HOW TO USE THE CROW BAR....BUT NOT THE SAW.  OH, I ALSO CHARGE AN EXTRA $50 A DAY FOR ANY ACCIDENTS SUCH AS SLASHING MY HAND OPEN.
