Today was about togetherness. Actually, no it wasn't. It was about salvaging all that we could from a 120 year old home. Someone generously let us have the materials in exchange for tearing it down. So, we took a home school field trip to demo this house. We darted among holes in the floor, spiders everywhere, rusty pieces of metal, and the remnants of a former tenant, to retrieve the good stuff and leave the bad. We got a bunch of good things, and there is still more to be done, but most importantly, we learned how to work together. We had assembly lines going with all hands on deck (minus the littlest one) and got the work done in record time. This day goes down on the books as a successful learning trip that will, hopefully, make us money in the end. Come back and read later to see what treasures we can get from a pile of old junk.
