Demolition Nears Completion

After 2 weeks of hammering, sawing, drilling, scraping and general noise making mostly just the skeleton of the old house remains. The roof is being ripped from the joists as I compose this entry. As the next door neighbors to this onslaught of noise we are able to witness every loud crash or echoing thud. It has been wonderfully entertaining and of course very thrilling to have finally started the "doing" stage of this project.
Slideshow:  demolition progress The builder expects to begin pouring concrete for the new footings and slab sometime next week. We are in a race with the weather. We would like to get the house framed and buttoned up before the first rain which can come sometime between October and February. As each day passes we can see the old reality beginning to give way to the new dreams.

We have picked out granite (that'll be a later story on this site) and are beginning to make "final" selections for many of the interior items so that the project won't be delay by us.
