Not a lot happening today. We had wet, sticky snow throughout the night and continuing into the afternoon today.
Snowy, gray day
The snow cover, incidentally, makes it easy to see when a neighbor’s curiosity morphs into trespassing.
John went over to the house to take photos and found footprints in the basement, in our garage, and around the exterior. We expected a high level of interest, given that we’re on a fairly busy street; but, seriously, when you have to open a door to poke around, perhaps you should reconsider.

At the end of the second full demolition day, the house is down to about a half a story.

It’s amazing to see the progress over the course of the past two days.

By the way, if you are interested in smaller homes, Tumbleweed Tiny House Company offers blueprints for a variety of very cool, small-footprint, sometimes-mobile homes. It’s a great concept and, if you get tired of your neighbors, you can just move your whole house!

Here’s a view from the second floor of the debris and machinery in the back yard. The gravel was brought in to create a path across the yard so the equipment wouldn’t sink down into the ground.
So far, they've done a good job of avoiding the viburnum (middle of yard).
