Last Jackhammer Day (for now)

June 13, 2010 |  by Brooke Tansley

Tomorrow we get the jackhammer and bust out the last of the stem wall under The Mold House. After that, it’s a matter of waiting for an appointment-free weekday for the both of us. Then we can haul out the rest of the concrete, finish digging the drainage ditch, lay the drainage pipe, and get to making this yard beautiful. Oh, how long it’s been!

We began our work last June, so this makes it a solid year of demolition. I am beyond ready for some beautification. Seriously.

Meanwhile, sun tea is steeping.
