Saturday Activity

The place is really rockin today! This is the sound of demolition....the Thud Thud of heavy mallets and the "krick" of boards being pried off. The sound of a Renaissance Faire dying....
I got the roof off, and the rafters for the dormers came off, though not without a struggle. Mattie, Dave's son, was watching me the whole time, and every time a piece of wood would crash down, he would yell out "Oy Vey! Timber!" I like Mattie....
There is a crane truck on site, and Brenda is checking out his hourly rates. I didn't think I would need a crane truck, but I wonder if it would be useful. Might be better than using an engine hoist chain fall. Hard to say. Next week, the beams will be coming down. Today, I pried off the nice grey barn boards from the front of the building. It looks very bare now.
Mood......don't ask.....
