Now that I have made the very hard decision to simplify my life by giving away my dog of 9 years (to a good home with a family with 2 teenage boys and 3 other dogs, 2 cats and chickens so he will be better than solo with me) .... I decided to demolish the kids cubby house left by the previous owner.
Two reasons :
1. That way I will stop looking out the window thinking of my dog.
2. It has had white ants in it for over 5 years and comes up in every annual pest inspection. Two of the main beams holding up the floor joists have broken in half so it was on a constant lean.
The previous owner made about 60% of it from untreated pine, then placed it on tree stumps concreted into the ground. No steel posts. No white ant caps. Might as well have painted an arrow on it with a sign saying "come and eat this".
Demolished it in the reverse construction order.
Roof, Wall Cladding, Wall Noggins, Wall Joists.
Then pushed roof over.
No injuries.
