The first time I used that phrase was summer after my sophomore year while I was riping up the vinyl in ET's dining room as the first step in replacing the floor with strip oak. That was a fun summer. The phrase comes back to mind as I am in the process of ripping up the vinyl tile in our kitchen. Plans aren't quite so ambitious this time, we're

You know, I always looked at that SPUR tile and wondered what it meant... :)

Heh, I forgot I put that on the tile. :-)

Yeah, basically summer after my sophomore year I was work week chair and I decided I was going to replace the vinyl floor with strip oak. Along the way we were debating whether or not to replace the walls, too. They had ugly fake wook panelling on the lower third of the wall. We discovered real wood panelling under it for 3/4 of the walls - what's now the dining room was once two rooms, a dining room and a pantry, hence the slightly odd shape. Finally, I picked up a small sledge hammer and punched holes in all the walls. Decision made.

For much of the summer I spent 8 hours at my UROP, then another 4-6 in the dining room. Hence the motto. When it was all done we celebrated with a trip to Serendipity. Ah I miss Serendipity.

I want a picture of you demolishing your kitchen with your kids :)

Don't tempt me...
I'd really like to rip out the kitchen.
But I have to keep telling myself we won't be living here long enough to make it worth our while.
