April 25th
Well, Day one was CRAZY. Troy and I got up early and took out the pool fence and cut down the trees in the forest that needed to be cleared so we can get a bigger patio poured. The guys showed up about 10:30 and blew out pretty much all the concrete in the patio in the very back, the patio up by the house as well as cleaned up all the trees and stumps in the forest for the new patio area. They spent quite a bit of time trying to crack into the front porch, but no luck…They need to come back tomorrow with a jack hammer to try and get that out, they think it is almost 3 feet thick. The lawn is getting pretty torn up, but that is OK…maybe it will scare the moles away
I am excited but very nervous…
This is the porch being demo’d…note the nice rotten beam up at the top corner–consensus is a past roof leak–not sure what will have to be done to fix this…if we need to replace the whole beam or it can just be cut out and replaced. The only thing holding it all up was the decorative brick exterior. YIKES! So there will be some repair to do there…
