4 Days ago, I arrived at the Estate to find this:
It all seemed to happen over night. Like some kind of renovation Santa passed over the Estate and removed all the unsightly old crap that was just getting in the way.
It seems we have a mystery on our..
WAIT!? p_O Did you see that!?
PANEL #5
OMG... something needs to be done about this. This is obviously a new scientifically engineered immigrant capable of super human feats of strength and speed.
(NOTE: Upon further investigative research, I have uncovered that this mysterious person is from Guatemala not Mexico. So there is obviously no need to be concerned about his legal status...)
There wasn't anything for me to do.. We had planned to start demolition the following Wednesday, and most of the work had already been accomplished.
I was left without a job to do.
But the thought had already occurred to me that once the demolition was complete we would need to quickly move into the renovation stage if we were to make our August 30th deadline.
So it was on to tiles!
After much searching through the sacred Halls of Home Depot we made our final selection and brought some samples home.
At least we thought it was our final selection. The great Lord of this land decided that our choices were going to mean that we were going to paint the entire Estate in shades of Grey. We even made it clear that it was not our intent to do so, but he refused to believe us and demanded we chose a different selection of tile...
This was of course the following day, after we had started to move into the next phase of the renovation process.
Just to skip past all the boring aspects of this story... we eventually settled on a more contemporary (AKA Boring) tile selection. One that old people would enjoy. Wonderful.
The entertaining part of this is that after we finally settled on the tile selection, drove all the way to Oakland to a Chinese Cabinet and Granite warehouse and decided on the counter tops and cabinets. The boss decided that he felt bad and decided maybe we should go back to the original tile selection. No offense meant to my parents, but they have a very VERY hard time making decisions when it comes to interior design. They spent almost 3 months renovating the downstairs of their house because they couldn't decide on the countertops/paint/cabinets/flooring and we don't have 3 months.
Anyways... here is the final selection. (I can say this with confidence because we're laying the bathroom tile tomorrow 8/5):
Ignore the paint choices, but you can also see the carpet we're ordering as well.
As far as our official demolition start date of August 4th which coincided with the delivery of the dumpster of the Gods.
Imagine Apollo pulling this son of a bitch across the sky.
I had something amazing planned for everyone that reads this on Thursday as well. It was a well planned out and highly anticipated event for myself and Sir Christopher Lemley.
But as most of my plans for the week, the very awesome and hard working man from Guatemala beat us too it.
I had planned to take pictures of the entire demolition of the post-apocalyptic-esque hot tub as performed by Sir Chris, but since it was almost completely finished when we arrived I can only provide you a hi-tech CG rendering of what the hot tub looked like before it's demise.
There was thankfully a section left to be demolished, and Chris quickly set to work with his fully authentic vault-tec saws-all.
As we lifted the remnants of the hot tub to get a closer look at the critters crawling about, we discovered the hidden horror of a hatchway leading to a flood infected Covenant ship.
So what did we do?
Donned our Spartan armor and grabbed our trusty assault rifles and a few plasma grenades and dove in to the belly of the beast. It wasn't a day at the beach let me tell you, but for that holographic babe Cortana we'd do anything. Even if it was a one-way ticket.
After saving the entire planet from a flood invasion, we cemented in the hatch.
... and as we stood surrounded by the thousands upon thousands of flood infected corpses an uncomfortable silence surrounded us.
There was one thing left for us to do....
THE END.
The home of a future fire-pit... this place is going to be awesome.
