You haven't heard because we haven't heard (day 25)

Nope, no news yet. :(

But there are more destruction pics...

This is the door within the window. I can't begin to tell you why it's there because we haven't the foggiest idea. The best reason we've come up with is so that you could get into the upstairs middle and front bedrooms without going through the back bedroom; however, that requires you to climb through the "door" in the window.

This is the door open. Not much room to get through. We didn't try it (wanted to though!) because the pane above is broken and I wasn't keen about crawling underneath a loose piece of jagged glass. Go figure. ;)

This is one of the "secret treasure" holes. At least, that's what my mom likes to think. We haven't ventured up here yet--not sure we want to find whatever's up there. It will get pulled down with the rest of the ceiling so we'll find out soon enough!

This is the fireplace that was covered over in the front bedroom. It has been bricked up, sort of. There are bricks in there but no mortar, so Mark (of course) pulled one out. It's now known as the fireplace with the stash of dirt, because that's what came pouring out. We've got all kinds of theories as to where the dirt came from, none of them pretty. The hole...

...and the dirt.

Since we pulled out a top brick, we're guessing the entire fireplace (at least mantel-level and below) is filled with dirt...and who knows what else.

But really, can I tell you how much fun this is? We're having a blast and it's great getting dirty and destroying and rebuilding (okay, eventually rebuilding) this house together. :)

maybe there is a treasure buried behind the fireplace. You'll be RICH! :B

I'm going camping so if something happens with your dossier this week and I don't e-scream in your e-ear, you'll know why.

The secret treasure hole is my favorite :)

As for the appointment date, I'm willing to bet you'll get one next week!
