Contracted down

12/1/09 The front corner of our house, removed

Yes, this is the way we kick off the fifth month of downsizing: major construction!

Since the day we moved in, we knew the rotting posts that held up our front porch and half of the roof wouldn't last forever. I'm just pleased they managed to last six years.

Now, those posts (and the rest of the porch) are gone. How's that for cleaning out the old? And, I must admit that there's something to be said about paying someone else to do it for you.

In fact, it's making me see the rest of my property in a different light.

Our shed better start treating me right. I'll have 'em rip that sucker down so fast, the shovels will burst into flame...
