They're Here! They're Here!!

Yes, the landscaper's demolition crew are here...they started about 20 minutes ago and already the place looks, well, under demolition....it's exciting, a bit sad and very distracting at the same time.

Three guys and two wee bobcats, which surprises me. The sewer guys had a backhoe whick broke up the deck and old patio really easily; this is taking more work. And they are going to hurt their backs.

The first thing they did was drill some pointy attachment on the front of one bobcat through the hard surface of the gravel driveway right above the gas line. I freaked out a bit even though the drill-thing wasn't very long. Edmonton: City of Exploding Houses.

The house is rattling a bit, but that will be worse as they get closer to the house. The old deaf cat hasn't noticed, but the younger two are hiding or running about with their bumbs as close to the ground as possible.

So, I'm home on vacation and in part am happy to be in order to see some of this...perhaps this is not such a good idea. I might snap some pictures but do have other things to do.

More later....

Okay, the house is really rattling now...they must be breaking up the patio right by the backdoor...
