Count down to tear down.

Demolition Update
A first in construction history, things are moving ahead of schedule.  It looks like the house might actually be demolished as early as next week.  Here are some of the events that need to fall into place and their projected dates:


  • Close on loan Wednesday 11/30
  • Demolition Thursday or Friday????


  • The biggest open item is how the demolition will be celebrated.  My first reaction is to give the old place a proper send off (read, a round in it's honor).  My second reaction is...  I guess I don't have a second reaction.  Let me know if you might be interested in a viewing of the house's remains, then adjourning to a local establishment to share in a farewell round.  


    Craig-o-Meter 2.0
    The fact that people care about the Craig-o-Meter makes my thrifty side so pleased.  The fact that there is confusion about the terms of the Craig-o-Meter makes the engineer in me uneasy.  So here are the rules of Craig-o-Meter 2.0 (legalese thanks to Andy):

    • The Craig-o-Meter shall only register savings for items specified in the building specifications.  The Craig-o-Meter shall filter out any items that are out of scope from said specifications. 
    • Craig-o-Meter savings shall be delineated in two separate formats: (i) cost savings vis-a-vis the specified allowance for said item and (ii) cost savings vis-a-vis the lowest online retail price for said item from a respectable merchant.
