Long Overdue Clean-up

Well a few weeks ago we spent some time cleaning out a bunch of old buildings here at Dogpound North and last week on Wednesday we started taking those buildings down. It took us two days with a tracked hoe and dump truck but we converted those old buildings from this

to this.

I just wish it was a quick as that to do the actual work but we had a lot tracks to make to tear down these buildings.

and as well as pitching in and giving the demolition fellow a hand from time to time I managed to take a few photos along the way. As well as those old buildings we had over the years accumulated a lot of "good" stuff that I figured should find a new home, and Jed from Rappel Excavating offered to take it off my hands and haul it all in to town to be recycled.

So off it went, and folks of a certain age will recognize that baby blue car on top of the load as Ralph Nader's nemisis the Chevrolet Corvair. We have had it hidden away behind the chicken house for about 30 years and now it is heading off to be made into tin cans or something. Now to get some grass seeded and readjust the fencing to fill all the holes and we'll get back to some fun things for this journal.
