And Down She Comes!

Back in February I wrote about a house across the street beside my house.  It had been damaged in 2003 by Hurricane Isabel and had been under tarps since then.  That's a LONG time to go without repair, and as time went on the condition of the house deteriorated with storms and snows and heavy rains doing a number on the tarps.  By February of this year, this is what I could see from my deck or my yard:

Then came some heavy rains and winds, and it got worse.

In early March I was told the house was to be demolished the following week, but it didn't happen.  FINALLY, this weekend they began to move in equipment to take care of it.  When I left for church at 10:30 this morning, the house still looked like the picture above.  When I got home at 12:30, this is what I saw:

It just got better and better:

 Note the cheering neighbor in the bottom left corner.
By 1:30, this pile of rubble was all that was left.  Amazing!
