Three short weeks ago, on a Thursday evening, we became proud owners our "shell".
Early the next morning Mr. Contractor was at the house beginning the renovation.
That Saturday, H and I walked by to see the house that was now "officially" ours.
We found a couple of Mr. C's crew tearing down what was left of the roof. The massive pile of debris was already taller than I am. Wahoo!
So, less than 48 hours after our purchase and on a weekend day the demolition was well underway. Case in point as to why we know Mr. C is the best!

The next weekend H's family was in town for Easter and they were dying to see our new house errr "shell". So, we took the quick 45 minute drive up to Baltimore. On the way to our new neighborhood we decided to take the scenic route through the city (the particular thoroughfare we chose is heavily populated with strip clubs and section 8 housing, (must be why they call it "Charm City"!)). I am sure they were impressed thus far.
As we guided the preppy group down the street to show off our new digs we discovered something wonderful had happened. The formstone* had been removed and the existing brick was in the process of being cleaned and repointed.
Here's to not wasting any time!
Look how dramatic the change is after just one week.

Here's a side by side comparrison.
What do you think? Would YOU have opted to keep the formstone?
*Formstone information coming soon!
