The first set of shots were taken on Friday, with the last few taken earlier today. It's evident the guys worked over the weekend! They experimented with different strategies for removing the roof, and settled on the technique of cutting sections out at a time. That way, they could lower the sections to the ground where it is safer to do the work. Similarly, some of the exterior wall framing was knocked off the foundation intact where it will be taken apart. The final layer to be removed is the flooring, which requires the guys to work more carefully as they have to pry the boards from each other so they don't split the dry wood. While some workers remove the remaining material from the foundation, there are others on the ground sorting the wood and other debris so that it can be carted off-site for re-use, refurbishing (in the case of the floor), and recycling. A very small percentage of the material will require disposal.

| No treasure found, but there were a lot of fruit boxes stored at one time under the porch that became enclosed |
