Now you see it, now you don't!

So last week I posted about the deck.
Well life took over and I suddenly found myself having a roommate move in. A good friend was relocating from FL to GA and has moved in.

So while there is an extra set of hands around the house, I figure some sweat equity is due.

Anyways, so here was the deck before:

By Tuesday at lunch time it looked something like this when I drove up into the driveway: (With the girls welcoming me home of course!)

 Coming to the backyard the destruction was evident:

 And by the time I was home from work it was TOUCHDOWN. Gone.

Whoever built the deck left the concrete stairs underneath-- odd but a blessing. Thankfully I can still use the back door. I am waiting to hear back from the contractor on when they can start. Hopefully soon! In the mean time, the demo is done and I've saved $250.

The bushes from the area still need to be moved and replanted.. Hopefully that can get done sometime this week.
So that's where we stand for now.
