Deconstruction

Well Cory spent this weekend taking down a few things. First he took down 5 bushes that lined the kennel, in the back corner of the backyard. Then he took down the dead tree next to it and the posts that were there for the tree. Then he disassembled the kennel. He took down the tin roof and then the fabric sidings and finally the fencing. It was a large kennel, about 12 feet long and about 7 or 8 feet wide and 6 ft tall! He did this all by himself as I sat in a patio chair and watched! Next Cory pulled up all the flag stones, over 60 of them. Then he tried to level the space out as much as possible. Jonny was there every step of the way to help his dad in any way he could. Finally after all that, Cory set the pool up! Last year the pool was smack-dab in the middle of the yard. So it's nice to have it set up off to the side. The kids are very anxious to swim even though it has been rather cool here the past couple of weeks. And by cool I mean in the mid-seventies! Here are a few pictures...

The kids like to help out. Megan is hiding.
