So, Saturday started with making sure that all the electrical was stripped out of the garage, the window removed, door taken out, garage door taken apart, which only left the garage naked. It had been stripped of everything that was of any use and the only thing left to do was demo. You know the fun stuff! This is where the boys had a blast. Each one of the guys grabbed their manly tool (hammer, sledge hammer you name it) and went to town. They started on one wall. It took them literally a minute to knock all of the wooden siding off of the garage. They were having way to much fun. Hammers were flying and hooting and hollering were soaring. At one time the entire garage shook. At that point, the guys bolted out of there. We were all thinking this could collapse on top of them at any moment. They decided to see if the tractor would push it over, so Brent went to retrieve it. However, Bryant and Blake wanted to test their strength and thought perhaps they could man it over. They grabbed the sides and started shaking. The garage was a rocking. And you know what they say "when a garage is rocking....RUN!" All of a sudden, we heard this crack, crack, crack then BOOM!!!! Down the garage went. It collapsed. We could not believe it. It took hardly any effect considering it was a fully constructed garage to cave in on itself. Hooting and hollering filled the air. We could not believe our eyes. At this point, Bryant and Blake were in hog heaven thinking they were Hercules or something. It was amazing! After seeing how easy it was to knock over, Brent and I could not believe that we actually housed our vehicles inside of it. I was in worse shape then we had originally thought. The boards were even more rotted and paper thin at a lot of places. The roof was extremely bad. Blake got on the roof and with no effort at all put the sledge hammer through the roof like it was a tissue. There was nothing to it. There were times when we thought it was going to fall through the roof you could see it bowing. When we went to move it in crumbed in places because the boards were so rotted that they just fell apart. The garage was then hauled over to a pile.
Stay tuned for more exciting news on our demo project. Next, will be the removal of the garage. This is something you will not want to miss.
Garage at the start of the day
The boys having fun doing a little demo work.
I love this photo! All three of the boys are getting ready to take a swing.
Man that was a lot of work, but only took literally one minute to do.
Getting more naked by the minute.
With a huff and a puff, I'll shake your garage down.

Knock, Knock is anybody home?
I'm on top of the world! I mean the garage.
You just know the day would not be complete or you know that this garage can not be torn down without the tractor. That would be crazy.
Hee-HO
We found where the mice were lining. In where the gutters were. YUCK!
The hole in the roof from the sledge hammer.
Now, what?!?
Is anybody there?
Time to pick up this mess
No turning back now.
Its a goner
The garage at the end of the day.
