Dutch Dream Residence

Some people say it is a crazy idea to but fireworks: “You spend a lot of money just to light them and blow them up”.

Well, This is exactly what we are doing now. We bought a house and now we are tearing it apart. Unlike our neighbors, at least the outside walls are still standing.
The first few hours, when we started to box up the stuff that was still left, it felt really strange. It didn’t feel bad but it felt like the end of an era. We were putting away stuff that belonged to ‘Ome Jan’ and ‘Tante Bertha’. I know that it is what they want but it still felt really weird. I just sat down in a chair and watched my girlfriend starting the work. (I kinda liked that part! NOTE TO MYSELF: I need to watch her work more often).

By now the inside of the house is pretty much unrecognizable and every thing is going great, even faster then expected. Within a couple of weeks we will be building again. And that should look a lot better then the demolition of the past few days.
