I Think I Just Felt the Earth Move...
With discoveries like this, I can see why we need more funding for science.
This kind of advance can only happen in America. (I am now humming the national anthem softly to myself--and, likely, so are you.)
Although, the article makes me feel sorry for all those women over 45 who's only "sanctuary for quality time" is their water closet.

One Week Later...
Since the Photo Nazi hasn't been able to do any updates on the remodel--her computer is in the shop, here are a few more photos taken with the uber phone...
Standing in the living room, looking into the kitchen. All the new 2x4s are braces for the new support beam so we can take out the older 2x4s in the middle of the photo. If all goes well, this will all be open area when we are done. If all goes poorly, we'll be looking for a new house (and selling some pretty sweet cabinets on Craig's List).
Standing in the old dining room (soon to be the den) looking into the kitchen (more of the bracing for the new support beam)...
Looking into the living room from the kitchen/dining area...
This is the second dumpster full. I'm going to miss that old banister. And the ceiling. A moment of silence, please...
Which brings me to the point of the last couple of posts. As you can see, we have no kitchen. And that means we're getting hungry. Anyone with an extra pot roast, some potatoes (I'm particularly fond of the sweet variety, baked), and perhaps a pan of brownies or Golden Graham s'mores, well, I know a very needy family right about now...

Day Three Update
So far...
We have completely filled two big dumpsters...
The walls and ceiling are mostly gone...
Dust covers everything...
Kitchen cabinets sitting on the balcony...
Garage filled with two ovens, dishwasher, and stove top...
Cereal for most meals...
Now considering redoing the roof, too...
Project appears to be getting more expensive than planned..
The whole family spends the night together crammed in the basement...
Considering family counseling.

I Guess this Means Take Out for Dinner?
On the bright side, I do know the location of a very good place for breakfast, which is kind of on the way to work.
