I have to say, this is one of my favorite days of the whole construction process. There is just something about crushing things with a giant claw that makes me giddy. I can feel my testosterone level rise on Demo Day. All I can hear in my head while the walls of the house crackle like twigs, is AC/DC's TNT. Weird, I know, but that is just me. When I told the excavator that I wanted his job, he gave me the "you're kidding me" look. Olen shared in my excitement while Lila cried in the car because it was too wet, too cold and too loud. That is my little girly girl. I guess she doesn't have the suppressed redneck in her like her mommy does.
Olen just trying to be one of the guys.
Playing on the track hoe with his Boompa.
Olen and Boompa watching the track hoe at work digging around looking for the sewer. They needed to unhook the sewer connection from the house before they could begin the demolition. Trying to explain what could happen if they didn't to a five year old, was a little difficult.
Joe, Lila and the guys looking on.
Demo was put on hold after two different inspectors showed up. We did a lot of waiting in the car.
The wet view from the warm car while we waited.
All clear, let the demo begin....
Here is a video clip of the garage surrendering to the Deere.
And that's a wrap!
