I think this happened a few days after we signed the papers. We had planned to remove the wall between the two units, so Sue grabbed a hammer and got things going.
Here she is peeking through to the other unit. Never seen her happier.
After dealing with the basement, we turned our eyes to the part of the job we were best suited for: demolition. This required only gloves, a mask, a high tolerance for filth and a heavy object to swing. All tools we had on hand. Sue was surprisingly good at this — you’d think a woman who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis might shy away heavy dirty work like this, but no, she jumped right in, in fact only a few days after we signed the papers.
