the sky is falling...

Dave had Saturday off so he tackled the ceiling. There had been a plastic grate drop ceiling covering a plaster ceiling with holes and pipes exposed. So we're taking it back, all the way back. And here we are...


Walking in the kitchen felt like the after math of an earth quake. Dave filled eleven boxes full of ceiling rubble. What a mess. It will be nice, someday, soon, I hope. This was just the next step I guess.

Dave is back on call at the hospital today. I'm wiping things down.

Here are some cool treasures Dave found in the ceiling.

This Little People toy is wood! How old do you think that is? I wonder who played with it. Did they miss it when it disappeared? What a fun find, everything is so plastic these days. I am going to try to find a way to incorporate it into Malcolm's room.

This is a very old sandwich wrapper tangled in a wad of cement. It reads:
"BAKED BY ELECTRIC HEAT
THE FIRST LARGE BAKERY TO BE SO EQUIPED
WHOLESOME
SANITARY
CLEAN"
hmmm...
