And the Walls Came Tumbling Down

On Monday our contractor sent this picture of the original concrete block wall being torn down in preparation for the addition next to it.  You can see the vertical wood studs of the temporary wall supporting the edge of the roof behind the blocks. 

All of that wall and the one around the corner were removed on Tuesday, but because of the rain storm that blew in this morning, they have covered the opening to keep the rain out. 

Here is the pile of blocks they have saved for me to throw down into the ravine to slow down the erosion.  I just have to figure out where to drop them down through all of the trees and bushes I have growing on the side.

I know it doesn't look like much, but at the back of this picture is the temporary wall that has replaced the concrete block on the side of the kitchen. They need to put a new beam across there to carry the weight of that edge, while also adding the dormer which will cover the new addition.  Complicated.
