Tomorrow is the BIG day

Tomorrow is the BIG day

Today was our last day of making sure the house was prepped for demolition because tomorrow it all comes tumbling down!

The digger was dropped off on Friday and is poised and ready to go.  We spent the weekend trying to clear out as much brush as possible.  Whatever is left will hopefully get crushed through the demo and dig.

We had three fairly large stumps in front of the house, and it looks like someone has helped themselves to some firewood, and chopped down the a bit more of our tree stumps.  If they had only waited, we arrived today to carry the remaining chopped trees from the backyard to the front yard.  We've pawned off as much free firewood as we can onto family and friends.  The remaining logs have found their way to the curb and hopefully some passersby will help themselves to some firewood.  We were surprised to see that someone helped themselves to the small lights from the bricked pillars at the end of the driveway.  I'm not quite sure what someone would use those very old lights for, but both were gone when we arrived today.

I have fond memories, as a kid, of watching our family homes being built. My brothers and I would love to climb onto the diggers or backhoes while my dad would take our pictures.  It was fun to see that my kids will also have the same memories.

The demolition is expected to start at 7:30 AM tomorrow.
