day two

Here's what the house looked like Monday morning. Turns out we had trumpet honeysuckle and Nuccio's Jewel peonies, which we discovered only after they had cut down and removed the trellis with the magnificent roses.









After the trellis was gone, they started in on the deck.
Here's the deck in pieces.

Nothing like 4 burly guys in shirtsleeves ripping and tearing. When I left Tuesday AM, they were busy taking nails out of the deck boards so they could be hauled off and replaned for our lattice work and front gate.

When I got back some 6 hours later, the wood was all gone, and the cement sidewalk was all gone, and the markers were all laid out for the excavators to start digging.Here's what it looks like now.








here's the homeowner and the contractor - can you tell which is which?
