 Denise promised some additional pitures today and I've included a few.  Today the crew pulled the old ugly stairs away from the house.  I'm not sure how much the stairs weighed but I would estimate thousands of pounds.  It took a loader and a strong truck to move them out.  That was about all ..

the progress that was made today. 

I've included some pictures of the porch and deck with the roof on it.  The plan next calls for the decking to wrap around the house to where the former stairs stood.  The next shot is William pictured in character as "Daniel Boone" standing guard as the workers do their job (he's a good supervisor).  All the boys are currently on a Daniel Boone kick and have been watching the old episodes.  Last, is a pad and framing underneath the deck which is the start of a new tool shed. 

The project is coming together quickly.  I have lots of farm work to do this weekend - everyone enjoy the fall  weather!  Mike

It looks like yet one more use for a shovle.

Thanks for the mention. It looks like you have figured out the instructions. You are are making progress. It should get easier from here. And all you like is finishing. Tell Denise I'm ready for the 1 pound of butter when she gets it made. I have found a way to agitate the cream. I'll just care it around in my dump truck all day

We shopped the removal around quite a bit to find a lower price, and part of the deal we got with the company that did finally take it down involved them removing all the wood. They were able to sell it somewhere to offset their removal costs. We kept some of the smaller branches to use as firewood this winter. Mike is planning to seed the spot where the stump was removed soon.
