Obviously, I knew the little house would go away to make room for the big house ; nonetheless, my heart was NOT prepared for what I saw! The whole thing is see-through! The Engineer and The Marine took my walls off! The scream I let out could be heard up and down the Potomac on a Saturday afternoon.
Once I recovered, I had to laugh. How did we have two kids in a room the size of a small closet? We were so happy in that little house! I love how the creek is just a "real" place to raise the kids - wooden spoons, water, and a clump of dirt provided HOURS of fun for my children ... heavy sigh.
When the kids saw it, they really had to take a private moment. I think their hearts weren't prepared either.
One really funny 'man thing': The approach to the deconstruction could not have been more polar. The Engineer used a lever and a wedge; The Marine used a primal grunt and a sledge hammer ... heavier sigh - men.
