The east wing of the house is now silent and relieved of any responsibility as it lies in a crumpled heap in the dumpster. Yesterday its life lines of wires & pipes dangled from the jaws of the (?) back hoe as it was disassembled piece by piece, rib by rib, & beam by beam. We have a pile of large beams & huge sandstone lying on the edge of the lawn and now the ground from the digging. Everything went well yesterday. Today they started digging and severed the septic line. I had not counted on being the one to use the Porta John! They say they will resolve things by the end of the day for the weekend. Let’s hope so!
