But then the whole wall came tumbling down, followed by the second wall and amidst the flying dust, I stepped back to view the ghastly bare and uneven bricks that make up the outside wall and suddenly down I went clear to my knees. In some years past, an old sump must have been pul under the house and the old trap door Just rottedaway. Afterchecking for broken bones and assorted other Injuries, I came up with another good omen. Instead of having to wheel out about five ton of old plast, I just scooped It through the hole In the floor. The kitchen, at least to this point, is done. New cabinets oven complete with micro-waand trash masher. Topped off with popart on the walls, perhaps wifey deer will forgo the panallng until I recover. Of course, outside the kitchen, one can find ample plaster and saw dust and other remains of a gutted kitchen, but Oh! the kitchen was worth all the work. The Tree . . .
