Order becomes Chaos becomes Order. Whatever, it was hella fun to watch.

A couple “before” shots:

Stephen’s spent hours over the last month carefully taking down the exterior fencing, salvaging the windows, the roofing iron & timber, & the guttering. We sold off one of the cages on TradeMe , and Beverley’s tentatively put in an offer on the remaining four. They’re too big and awkward for just Stephen and I to move, but luckily Geoff and Michael (Hey ! Tell me how to spell your name !) helped us shift them before anime the other night. An even bigger accomplishment: shifting the tack shed over onto the concrete pad using a bunch of old round fenceposts as rollers. Woo !

Our neighbor John got to drive the digger (and he’s very good at it, too), but just standing around and watching was immensely satisfying. The whole process took about an hour.

Mmmm. Smooooth. John’ll be back later with his little digger and truck to haul away the rubble (which will cost a good bit more than the demolition. Bleah). But they’re gone ! The horrible Doggie Auschwitz is gone ! YAY !
