Before the construction there is demolition and before that is the clearing out of junk so the contractor can get to the demo.
Nice young local Youth Minister came buy to recycle much of it into the local land fill or turn in bottles and cans a nickel per. Thanks, Roy!
Husband called local trash company to hire a "dumpster" It contains the old sink, the old toilet and old downstairs sink. Plus lots and lots of cardboard boxes. Surprisingly the cardboard boxes I mailed down from Barrow in 1999 had survived their sojourn in the basement pretty well. Oh there are a couple of old wooden and glass doors as well. This load will get topped of Sunday and probably hauled off Monday. Lovely.
The lady above is Turinesh Dibaba running for Ethiopia. She won the 10,000 meter run last night (6.something miles) Did it in a hair over 30 minutes. She won gold and both 10,000 and 5,000 in Beijing. She was injured and has recovered rather nicely. The amazing thing is that there was a field of 22 women starting out, three Japanese women jumped right out in front followed closely by an Irish running. They kept it up for about half way through. Then the Kenyans went to the front and put a good 50 yards between them and the pack. Ethiopia followed. They took turns leading and on the VERY last round the bell sounded and Turinesh Dibaba took off like there was a two for one sale at Nike's. She passed them on a curve and opened up about 500 yards. She has a kick that won't quit. She cruised through the end with a big old grin on her face. Very impressive. The commentators kept talking about her nick name "Little Assassin" and her finishing kick. Holy Cow!!! PS; She and the Kenyans had to fight they way through runners they lapped.
