The garage is down. The house looks nekkid.
It took all day to get the last of the structure down, but it's done and I'm ready to turn this project over to the guys that make a living building stuff. Actually, I still need to remove a section of the retaining wall below the garage, but that's just moving dry-stacked concrete blocks. Concrete blocks that weigh about 90 lbs. each, but that's another job the tractor can help me with. That will be my weekend "entertainment".

After cleaning up, the last thing to do is move the laminated beam to the storage area.

Those beams are HEAVY, so I had to get creative to move them by myself. I've clamped my hand-dolly to one end of the beam, and chained the other end to the loader bucket.

With a little careful maneuvering, this will work fine.

The slope is almost too much for the tractor, but it makes it with minimal spinning.

All my salvaged lumber, and a stack of pallets for the retaining wall blocks.

The birds don't like it. I heard one of them say "This isn't right. Fix it!"
