We've been having our new house remodelled. One thing that really
surprised me is how impermanent the walls are.
I've always thought of the walls of a house as fixed objects,
invariant constraints you work around. But all it takes is a crowbar
to open them up. Then you can run wires through them, put in plumbing,
ventilation. We even moved a wall a couple of inches
to steal space from a closet and make the kitchen larger. No big deal,
assuming you have a good drywall guy to finish the job.
