Looking down into the basement from the hallway. Looking up into the attic from the same place.

Finally, some dust and destruction! After twice canceling due to forecasted rain and then having the sun come blazing out, we ignored the weather report and had Shug come over to destroy the chimney anyway. It mostly didn’t rain. There was dust. So much more satisfying than making phone calls and plans. Now there is a hole in the house, though the roof has been patched, and we feel like we’ve made some concrete (no pun intended!) progress.
