Demolition Begins

Demolition has begun on our house. We knew it was coming when the port-o-potty was delivered to our front yard early in the week. The first step was to remove all of the siding from the house. Next, I assume, they will move inside (where all of the furniture, belongings, and carpet have already been removed) to take down the drywall. Once all of that is down the contractor and engineers will decide if the house needs to come down the ground for a complete rebuild. A large part of that decision will be dependent on how much water damage occurred in the walls that were still in tact. Our contractor has stated that he believes our house is a "complete disaster" and would not be surprised if they do end up taking the whole thing down. Sigh. Here are some pictures we took that day after the workers began demolition.
