I spent the first two days of the New Year working towards getting my design studio renovated. January 1 my father came in and helped me remove the large bench on the front wall. We quickly found out that my grandfather was not afraid to use nails, screws and a combination of the two. After a lot of hammering and prying we got it all pulled apart and moved out into the shed. It opened up the room immensely.

J came up on day two and began ripping down the sheet rock. I walked into a huge mess after lunch. I was thrilled though. I grabbed some garbage bags and started filling. By the time we were done late that afternoon, we had removed all but one bench from the walls and stripped three of the walls of sheet rock. J also pulled a handful of the ceiling tiles down to see what was above them. It gave us a better idea of what we were getting into.

I feel a great sense of accomplishment at having moved so far in only two days. The next step involves getting the rest of the stuff out of the room so the final wall can be attacked.
