You might remember that we found this awesome little note on a rafter when we started the demo (way back in September, which now seems like ancient history).
 |
| It was so cool finding this on one of the first days of demolition. |
We saved it, of course, although I haven’t decided what to do with it yet. However, we loved finding it so much that we figured sometime in the future someone else might want to find a little note from us. So we set up the big ladder (the construction guys leave all their ladders here and it’s so nice always having a ladder around when you need one), and climbed up to the big ridge beam where we left a note of our own. Our very own time capsule, I guess you’d say.
 |
| Our own note to the future owners. |
To commemorate the moment we took a really awful photo of ourselves and tried to get the beam in the background. It didn’t work. And we look like aliens.
So instead you get a picture of Mr. Much-More-Patient scaling the ladder.
 |
| With all the overspray from the primer on the plastic up at the ceiling it sort looks like Mr. Much-More-Patient climbed up to a cloud. |
We wrote quotes about books behind our new bookcases and one with remodeling dates and our names under the new carpet. I love the idea of the surprise that folks will get someday in the future.
That's a great idea, Linda!
