I finally got around to doing some more work this month. Since there is not much left to do before construction starts I took off Nov and Dec (Glendale Glitters). I've been putting off tearing out the walkway that went around the front of the house. It took three trips to get all the concrete to the dump. As it turned out it was just under 3 tons. I also tore out a pad of concrete on the back of the house, which was also about a ton of material. The pad looked like it was originally the floor for a shower that was added on years after the house was built. The pad has a drain cover and drainage pipe. I'm leaving the pipe in place as it will be extended to the new building at the end of the driveway.
I also cut off a couple of big limbs from the tree in the front yard. The limbs were hanging over/into where the house is going to be built. The new house is going to be a little bigger than the last. I did all this over the 4 weekends in January.
