Porch Demolition Derby

Yesterday david had his day off and we made a deal if I cleaned up all the bear lake stuff and the house he would put up molding in the bedroom or kitchen so lets just say I got it done  and the next day while i ran to get supplies for mequettes wedding bouquet I came home and the bathroom and the kitchen had all the crown molding up. David did a wonderful job considering there is no 90 degree angle in our house. He was even so ambitious at eleven o clock last night he also trimmed limbs off of our tree. Then he found out he had another day off He was so on a roll that he sold something on ksl this morning and went and got materials to fix the sagging porch. When he was ripping it apart I could see why we have an ant problem thousands of ant were living in between the carpet and the wood. I love it when david gets motivated he turns into a demo machine and does not stop till it is done and quite frankly he is kinda studly while destroying stuff. The beams  and wood were crumbling under davids touch and I could not beleive how nasty it was underneath old rat holes and some that were new, and huge cobwebs, cast iron pipes and even an old paint can from when my parents painted the house yellow.

Aww I love the smell or ripping up nasty carpet in the morning!!

This is an angle of the very front of the porch see where the rats have been digging holes to have a cozy home

I recognize that paint color!!

after david is done we will have a nice new wooden porch and it will be painted white to match the rest of the house when it  is done. and the bottom of the porch will be open so we can keep tabs on the critters  but until that time  keep in touch and in a few hours I will post more pics of the finished product.....

Okay I have just posted this blog entry and from the time it took me to type this david has removed the lattece the two pillars, the steps and all of the borads are missing exept the straight beams that create the floor. he is a beast!!!! Oh and another thing he broke a hammer during the process he he
