Construction starts.

Our contractor is Mr. Macho's brother -in-law. Heretofore he will be referred to as Uncle Jay.
Uncle Jay came over and with the help of his trusty side kick, Russell, got our little project under way. Rain prediction for tomorrow kept them from completely removing the chimney. But here is what it looks like so far...
Uncle Jay starting the demolition on the chimney before 9:00 this morning. 

Late afternoon and the chimney is off down to the roofline. Had to stop here because of threat of bad weather tomorrow. 

One last photo by the fireplace taken before 9:00 this morning. (Is that Vanna? Oh no. C'est moi! In my post exercise glory.)

Mr. Macho checking out the fireplace - sans gas insert, sans mantle and notice the beams are gone from the ceiling. 

I know we will live like gypsies for the next few months. But where there is a beginning - there is and end, and I am getting very excited about that.
