Before anything else could be done, I had to Tear Down 2 sheds. One was
a large 20' X 10' shop and the other a 10'X10' shed. In addition was the loss of
the huge covered carport attached to them both. With this loss Room and
Space to put things and keep things dry becomes a huge challenge for the
remainder of the project. So, I had to find room to stash and rat
hole all my tools, boxes, equipment, here and there throughout the trailer.
Then I hired some help and proceeded to demolish the shops and the
carports. Man, that was more work to tear it down than build it ! I
tried to save some of the material, but that was nearly impossible. Still,
I was able to save lots of plywood and long 1"X4" roof boards which I used later
and saved myself a few $$$'s. Again, Cleanup took quit a lot of hours and
several runs to the dump.
Josh makes the first scratch on
the ground

First Scoop of earth to come out
of the footprint

Josh puts his backhoe
experience to work.
 |
We had allot to dig in a short amount of time
 |
I was
fortunate Josh could make the 600 mile round trip to come help.
 |
The backhoe was Huge and the
area Josh had to maneuver in was very limited
 |
Josh let me drive just long enough for me to realize how long
it would have taken me to learn how to drive this thing.
 |
I was pretty amazed that
Josh was able to get some of the
huge stumps out with the backhoe.
 |
Josh made the machine look well orchestrated with fluid
movement of the controls.

The Arborist instructed us to
carefully hand cut any large tree roots. We wrapped the ends with
canvas and kept them moist
