2016 Karen's Shed...

Work progressed throughout the week.

quite a few nails had to be pulled before the metal roof could be removed. 

 By mid-week the back half was demolished.

Back and side walls of the back half of the shed along with it's metal roof are now in the scrap piles.

After the side wall boards were removed, the rail supporting the roof on the front of the shed was removed and a gentle push had the roof collapsing to the ground!

A gazillion nails had to be pulled to remove the shingles 

Once the shingles were removed the beams were quickly cleared. 

Another push and the other half collapsed 

More nails and shingles to be removed

 The last floorboards were removed

Piece by piece the shed was demolished and the scrap piles grew 

 The foundation rocks were added to the flower garden rock walls

and the last piece of framework was knocked down. 

SUCCESS!

A tired but happy work crew!

2016 Karen's Shed... Sunday

After leaving Kelly at Syracuse airport, we continued on to Troy, PA arriving at my SILs around 4 and thus began our week of labor.


After a quick chicken dinner we spent several hours beginning work on tearing down an old shed. We started on the back wall... it looking to be the most stable section of the shed.  

First we had to remove the overgrown weeds and loose boards and items surrounding the building.

A pile was started and my job (with help from Stan) was to remove the nails from the boards because Karen wanted to save the wood for future projects.  

 


We worked until dark and had most of the back wall removed and de-nailed and some of the shingled roofing on the side rabbit hutch was removed.
