Stumped

Tomorrow... we get to celebrate.

TEAR DOWN!!!

Well, the beginning of tear down. If all goes right, and the workmen aren't afraid of a little snow shower, the trees in the front yard come down tomorrow and some large equipment gets delivered to sit over the weekend in anticipation of tearing down the house on Monday.

I have some reservations about this actually happening. This house should have been down over a month ago. The demo company seemed to have dropped the ball on the permitting process with the town, and we are only this far along because Dave stepped in, made a bunch of phone calls, set up meetings and made sure everyone finally knew what they needed to do. Part of the process includes notification letters within 10 days of demo, to all the neighbors within a 200 foot radius that the house is being demolished. Those letters did go out…

I now await the sound of chainsaws and then I will begin jumping for joy! Oh, I suppose I should head out to stock up on champagne. With any luck, I'm going to need it come Monday!

Special thanks to my wonderful neighbor Laura for not only calling me to tell me the letter arrived, but also for humoring me by posing for the cheesy photo.
