porch demo w/ mummified opossum
At the end of day 1, the demolition is done and the truck is full of stuff to take to the dump. We found 4 or 5 old soda bottles and a mummified opossum.
We put up the new supports, took down the 2×4 handrails, pulled up the flooring, and pulled all of the mostly rotted supports from underneath. Straight forward enough, but surprisingly exhausting.
The next step is to dig for the footings for the piers and get the truck emptied.

Wow, thats pretty wild. Kinda scary looking!
