Step 3: Demolishing the garage.
Anne and I had a trip to our vacation home planned for the end of March. Our goal was to get the garage demolished. Knowing that we could not do this on our own, we reached out to the same group of carpentry students that helped us on Day One. Only two of the six could make it, but we ended up getting help from a group of eager, hardworking teenagers and their father/uncle. Within 2 days, the entire garage was demolished, with the debris sorted out; garage door, entrance door, vinyl siding, cedar clapboard siding salvaged, the asphalt shingles separated for recycling, the scrap metal recycled and picked up, and the remainder put into a 30 cubic yard bin. Since we had a third day planned with the students, we ended up getting two interior walls erected, so now we have the living room walls all completed (yea!!)
