Removing the car port... Lucky it didn't fall down!

Alrighty... still back-tracking here, trying to get through this as every day I spend covering old ground, new ground is hurtling forward faster than a runaway train.

Sunday, November 1st: Car port coming down

We've still got half the slab to be removed, but friend and drummer from Adam's band, Adam - yes, there are 2 Adams - has come over to help dismantle the car port so he can use some of the materials. See, we're green.


So glad we got rid of that before it fell! DODGY!!

Saturday, November 7th: Attacking the last of the slab...

Jack hammer has made it's appearance again. Adam spent most of this weekend just carving it up as the plan is for FIL Max to come over during the week and take the bits of concrete away.

Sunday, November 8th: Timmmmmmmmbbbbbbbeeeerrrrrrrr!!

And down comes the largest palm tree on our block. It was in the way!

9th/10th/11th November:

Max removed the last of the concrete from the slab and also begins on removing the pavers that were directly behind it (between the old car port and the pool). I even got out and helped! For about half an hour... then the job was done. Must have been my input that made all the difference... yeah, thats it.

Somewhere in here, the pool filter had to be moved, along with the pool fence. It's all a big jumble of events because there were many a 5am start that, frankly, I slept through.

But, to make it straightforward, here are some photos of the area, ready for excavation!

That's Roxy in the foreground.
