Man Week

One week ago today I started to unscrew the cabinets next to my oven.  It was to first step to dismantling my entire kitchen, with the hopes of restocking it with new floors, windows, cabinets, and appliances.  I gotta admit, I was afraid of it.  Then I realized, I sound like a pans, so I shut the crap up and started beasting it.

Today we basically completed the demolition.  In the last week, we have removed old ductwork and added a new vent into my upstairs, removed all cabinets and flooring, rewired the majority of the kitchen, taken out a window and enclosed it, restructured a PVC vent pipe, and done a fair share of plumbing involving copper pipes.

Removing the ductwork was one of the greatest achievements of my life.

I've scored some power tools out of the gig:  cordless sawzall and screwdriver, work lights, jig saw.  

This week I've worked with my hands and gone without a shower for days on end, with no griping from...people who might not allow me to get away with not showering for as long as I have...

It's been Man Week at my house.  And domination has been in full effect.  

O'Doyle rules.
