Gone!
Holy shit was that fast …
3 polaks, 2 crow bars and a skill saw… Nothing but the decaying slab left. That’ll have to wait ’til Thursday.
I gotta say — these guys worked smart. Took about a dozen well placed cuts of the saw and the roof of the was gone. The walls came down even quicker. If they’d brought a bigger truck, the whole job would have been done in 2 hours.
Sadly, I lost an old storage box during the demo — I don’t think there was anything of major importance in it, but it makes me sad to think some part of my history that wasn’t intended for the dumpster is somewhere in a landfill right now. Ah, well — guess it’s been collecting dust and rat shit for the past 5 years — couldn’t have been that important to me, eh?
On a cool note, I did re-discover my HUGE print of Roy Lichtenstein’s drowning girl. Thank god (yes, with a lowercase g) I had the movers pack it up really well during my last move. Not bit of rat piss on it.
Kinda funny, but I guess this print has always reminded me of Capital “C” — seems a bit more poignant now than ever before.

Wow - read this and had a post in mind before I read the mentioning of me. Kewl, or weird, I guess.
I like to say “thank the gods” (yes, with a lower-case “g”).
