They're baaaaack!

I knew the guys couldn't stay away forever and they finally made it back to their favorite renovation place this morning!  This final stage of the project is to replace the main wall at the front of the house and also build what I call a "trash condo."  The Planning Department says a proper concrete structure must be built to house the trash for collection, once you have at least 3 individual accommodation units on the property.

Johnny was the only person to work throughout the day and his task was to remove the wall.  He had to use a Bobcat, an Excavator and a dump truck to get the job done.  And, as always, he was able to get this first step completed by the end of the afternoon.

Removing the main wall

Some of the work had to be done by hand

The first section of wall has begun to be removed

The "big guns" arrive to help with the task

This parking spot has been reserved for the Excavator!

A closer look at the progress thus far

Looks like the rock is getting harder........

........Time to bring in "The Excavator!"

Watch out for the Frangipani tree!

Just one small section of wall remains

Who put that electric pole in the way?

A line is marked to determine where the new wall will be built

The various building supplies should be delivered tomorrow and the concrete footing for the wall will most likely be put in place.  Unfortunately, we're expecting some tropical storm force winds to arrive by the end of the day, which will delay things for a short time.  Hopefully, Rafael will pass by quickly and the project can be completed within a couple of days.
