Down she comes!
The little borer hotel is a ramshackle add-on to the borer hotel (aka the garage). We're replacing that scungy thing with a nice new shed and we won't share it with the borer.
To begin, we knocked down the little borer hotel ourselves.
Two sides down and the back is proving difficult. Hard hat on. At this stage we decide that we're not going into the demolition business - it's harder than it looks.
After a few days of brute force and bashing and wrenching and yanking with crowbar, wrecking bar, sledgehammer, saw etc, Paula lent us her reciprocating saw. Mish got stuck in with that and took the thing apart in an orderly and efficient manner.
Until the very end when another good bash was needed.
To come: a spruce up of the side of the garage and the base and we're ready for the crew to assemble the new shed. That's not us and phew.
It took a day (7 hot hours) to cart the corrugated iron to metal recycling and the borer-rotten wood to the tip. Then a swim and job done and phew!
Well done kidlets!
