And it all came tumbling down….

001

In yesterday’s post for rubbish Tuesday I posted a picture of the house close by me that was damaged by the tornado.  As I was leaving for a doctor appointment yesterday morning  a little after 8 there were semi trucks lined up for a block and one was backed in and the demolition began, finally.  I took this picture when I came home around noon.  By late evening the house was completely gone and there was nothing there but level ground.  I was too lazy this morning to get out and take another picture.  As you can see, the house next to it on the corner still needs to have some repair work done.  I have been told that the reason for the delays is that the contractors in our area are all so busy because in the city of Washington (about  20 MILES from here) there were several hundred homes demolished. 

Today they are starting work on the building across the driveway next to me that had two by fours and other objects through the roof.  My friend Barb was displaced from there and she has finally moved out of town.  I really miss her!

I hope you all have a great day!  Stay safe and be happy!!
