90 Year-Old Garage - Free To Good Home (some assembly required)

well, it's almost down. we headed back out after church, lunch, and part of the Bears game (a.k.a. around 2). we picked up an extra prybar after church (another successful Menards trip, several good finds) ... one that was a little more suitable for tearing down a shed. it really helped, we made great time today ... it tore through the roof ... and it freed up the other one for Chrissy to use pulling down siding. in about 2 hours i had the rest of the roof down ... and by a little after 4 there was just a frame left. we moved/straightened up the wood pile. wow, what a pile too. Chrissy did some more cleanup and i attacked the framing. i had the roof framing down and stacked away just as we ran out of daylight (so no pictures of the current condition). so, we only have the wall framing left. that shouldn't take more than an hour or so when we get a chance to work out there again. there is a bunch of cleanup to do still. Chrissy raked up the mess in the yard, but we're still about ankle deep in shingles, nails, and bits of wood on the old slab. so, we'll gather that up in bags and slowly work it out in the trash i think. it's a really nice feeling knowing that it's almost done. we celebrated with some Skyline Chili (to-go, they'd didn't want us dirty folk in there). they opened the Skyline in Noblesville about 2 months ago ... that sealed the deal for me :-)
