So I woke up this morning to sunshine and a bright blue porta-john in my driveway! There are only certain circumstances where a person should be happy about a porta-john in their driveway and I think this is one of them......it helps that I know it's clean(for now).
So they finished up the siding in the back of the house and then the excavator came! I'm not sure if I was happy about this or not b/c I got NOTHING done today! Ava was mesmorized by the whole thing and we sat (together) on the radiator in the playroom and watched him remove the back patio piece by piece.......for almost 2 hours! I couldn't get her to leave.....he has a Big Bird doll hanging on the window of the truck and every time he swung the machine arm to put the pieces in the truck (to throw away) Big Bird would come around to see Ava...over and over and over again. And every time this happened we had to yell "KABOOM" and cheer! It was cute and fun for the first 10 minutes, but by the 11th minute I was ready for him to leave! The excavator is also a smoker...and every time he put a cigarette in his mouth Ava would look at me and scream..."E-POP!!!!" Yup.....she thought he was eating lollipops the whole the time and thought she needed to have one too, whenever he did. I finally caved after about an hour, which also got her to come off the radiator for a little bit, so I could vacuum and throw some laundry in. Then back to our perch we went for another hour and another "E-Pop!"
The back siding is pretty much gone and the patio is gone too! He also moved to the driveway side of the house and removed some of that siding! We are moving right along and making progress! Tomorrow "E-Pop!" comes back and starts digging. ;o)
Day 2 -- Back
Side and our newest lawn ornament!
