The house came down.......

For those of you who haven't been here in a while you have a lot of reading to do!
This is what the house looked like on Saturday after we torn off the windows and the doors and the siding... not the sky that was those lovely rain clouds that we worked in all day!
This is after they unloaded their high hoe and started to take it down. It was kinda sad. This was our first home, where we brought the kids home to, the place that we spent a lot of time and money into to re do. A lot of memories went into this little house. Oh well, get over it there is nothing you can do about it now! Crap happens!
I went around to the front of the house to take a few pictures because he wanted to work his way to the back so nothing fell out into the street! He was a good operator because nothing hit even the sidewalk. He could pick tiny pieces of wood up with that claw I couldn't believe it.
It took exactly one hour and 30 minutes to tear it down to just a pile of rubble.
Should I call the insurance company about the hole in the roof????
That living room carpet is never coming clean!
We generated lots of spectators for the event. The busiest Foxboro has been since the house burnt down.
Steph brought Nick up to watch, Tracey and Kevin came over, Angela came by, Tina, Julie and Jocelyn brought Bailey over. And Colleen came out to watch too! We had a great visit with everyone. Not to mention the people that stopped by all day to watch.
We took the front row seats in the back yard.
Yup, my entire life amounted to three dumpsters and three dump truck loads. Inviting thought isn't it??The second last dump truck load got stuck in the mud. So the high hoe had to give him a push out!
The whole day was quite exciting for the kids after it was all done it was a regular day of playing in the sand box , swimming and eating. No biggie.
Tyson just kept saying all day "Now my house is really broken".

And this is what the lot looks like now all empty. Looks kinda funny. On to bigger and better things. Hopefully it won't be too long and things will get started and I can show you progress. I am excited now. On to new memories.

Guess I had better start with shocking the pool from all the rain, and vacuuming out all the dust from today!

If it isn't one thing it's another!
