The garage came-a......

tumbling down! You'all should have been here. Grampa had leaned a 2X4 against one on the east side near the front corner and the west wind sort of pushed the structure against that piece of wood. Today Steve came over and brought his chain saw and other tools he was sure would be needed. He'd come over last evening about 6:30, I think he said, with a friend who has a construction business and lives three doors east of us. He gave him some suggestions (e.g. cut a v shaped notch in one of the centre posts holding the centre beam up, etc). Steve and Grampa decided,'Today's the day!' (Steve's day off.) Steve removed the 2X4 the garage was leaning against, moved around to the west side of the building skeleton and gave it a push and down she went as neat as you please. I'm not sure if he used one hand or two. You'll have to ask him. One, I think. We couldn't believe it was so easy. Grampa's removing the rest of the roof boards and stacking everything neatly to reuse what is okay. Much of it looks okay because it has been inside and not out to the elements over the years.
