This is one of three posts for today---make sure you scroll down for more pictures after this post and the Q&A post...
Today (Saturday, Sept. 6th) was demolition day. Dave, Danny, Danny's Dad and Step-brother, and friends came to help gut the house. Here are a few pictures taken early in the afternoon. They got even more done after I left. These pictures make me sad:
The game room: minus the piano and pool table (both were moved out a couple of nights ago)
Looking into the kitchen from the game room

Now for some random pictures from the days before...thanks to Stefanie's camera:

The hallway pre-demolition
The sink hole that developed last week...this was just before the sheriff roped it off and closed the street

The backyard
The barn...the water had receded a bit
The chicken coop
