Work and Play

Congratulations to all who survived Demolition Weekend. My store is now stripped down and ready for the contractors to work some magic. In the understatement of the year, I will say only that it wasn't easy. Enjoy the above video of the massive grill exhaust hood falling in a way that no one had expected - destroying my contractor's work lamp and nearly sending the place up in flames as a result.

The CB Demo Crew - From Left (Special Skill In Parentheses):

Señor CB (Sweeping, Pry Bar, Ladder)
David "The Flood" Flood (General Ricketty Carpentry, Gravity Defiance. Hindsight)
Big Mak (Sawzall, More Sawzall, Sledgehammer)
Toadman (Sledgehammer, General Bucketry, Tarp-o-nomics, Wheelbarrow Sciences)
Dr. Mark Hoelscher - Not Pictured (Unlimited Loaner Tools, Storytelling)

Although participants were not paid, they were fed at my expense, housed free of charge (See Below), and invited to partake in a Halloween extravaganza involving the bars o' Downtown Bloomington (pictures to follow).

And finally, for an extra dose of humor, I present the ultimate in duct jousting excitement - man versus heavy grease-fortified celestial (aka dangling in the air) metal ductwork. Enjoy!
