My arm hurts, OH, that's right, I did some major construction, eh, demolitions work. Click image for a movie!
Those stones sure seem indestructable, aren't these supposed to be just facades?
Here it is, the end of the week, we know Calvin didn't figure these wall are still up.
(The following Monday, it took Calvin and his crew the entire day to get these stones off the exterior wall.)

Bye-bye chimney and our deck.
The chimney didn't want to leave, it was built to last. Calvin went hunting this week, and he sure wasn't too happy to return and saw the chimney still standing.
Not to mention that it broke his jackhammer.
QuickTime movie of the chimney demo.

Week 2 - The big dig
What a shock! Had no idea there will be such a big dig in the Basement.
We had thought not much will be touched down there during the remodel!
where did the pile of dirt go?
Footings get built and then filled:

Calvin and team are charging ahead.
Day 2: Driveway is too steep? No problem, Our builder Calvin built himself a ramp by 10am:
Day 1: The BIG old hot tub got unceremonially chopped up and thrown away, we get the feeling, Calvin is not going to let much stop him :)
The intial work involves shoring up and adding to the foundation.

Joy beyond words
On Friday, Oct. 3, we went to the house after work and - I can hardly believe I'm finally writing this - work had begun on the house. I'm so happy I could cry. One year and four months of design, re-design, etc. and the first hammer has touched the first nail.
