Taking Down the Shed

Today was a very busy and productive day at our house. The shed we have enjoyed and used for many years in our back yard was in need of demolition. The problem was that my sweetie was needed at work and couldn't help us. Fortunately for me, my little army mobilized and we got everything taken down and into the large dumpster in about 90 minutes.

The Dog Walker did an amazing job removing the roof with a crowbar and brute strength. It took 5 of us to carry it around the house and to the dumpster which was on the street. Once the roof was off, he knocked the walls down and broke them into smaller pieces so all the kids could help carry them.

Some of the boards and particularly the floor were rotting away and they would simply fall apart in our hands. It took many trips before we felt comfortable that we had done all we could do.

Then we cleaned up, had lunch, and took all the kids to the library by way of some of the interesting sites in our little city. Curly and Burrito were working on community merit badges and a hometown discovery patch for Scouts.

Sadly, I was so busy being the tour guide that I forgot to take any pics for you, but here is a cute selfie that Baby Doll took of us after we had showered up from the shed project.
