Demolition Begins

The first thing we did was to schedule a mini-demolition day with our kids. The opportunity to channel their adolescent energy into a constructively destructive project could not be passed up. In hard hats and with sledge hammers in hand, a group of participants demolished a doorway, an old desk, and a small entry wall. Pictured is Maggie Matta, the youngest of our crew, putting her energy into a sledge-hammer swing. After seeing her enthusiasm, I momentarily thought about dropping all this artsy-fartsy ZUMIX stuff for a more utilitarian focus on construction training.
