It took 8 days and 6 guys to remove the home. one guys spent the 8 days just pulling nails from the boards. The roof had 4 layers and took the most time. Once the roof was off the interior came down and then the walls. This was the event of the year for the neighbors. We now know them all and some of them had lots to offer in what they would have done. The home is now a large swimming pool with yellow tape indicating not safe to swim. We are finding that most people just can not help but to walk to the edge of the foundation and look over.
Now that the house is gone we have spent the last few weeks cleaning up the yard and out buildings to get it ready for the builders. We have recycled almost a ton of metal from the property it seems Mr Muhlhouser really like to use piping around his yard and garden.
So now we wait and hope that we start after the holiday,
wow guys, first off congratulations on your new endeavor, should be a really interesting project to build something with your personalities and needs reflected. Awesome on the lot size. And really amazing to see that the old house was a log cabin underneath all of that.
