The rickety old scrapwood "shed" needs to come down, be broken up, and carted to the dump. Time for some exploratory destruction to inform future planning. And before you ask, no, I did not construct this monstrosity; it was a present to us by the previous owners. How thoughtful. Some of this wood I'll cart to a friends place for planned bonfire. In fact some has already left. This stuff is beat up, rotton, bug-eaten, full of nails, etc. A perfect playground.
The tools: BK2 (w/ marioncarry kydex!), Secret homemade bug repellent (formula #3), gloves, saw.
Ta-Da!
Just kidding, it started this way. After Irene I pulled the last support that was keeping the framing and roof upright, allowing the roof to finally hit the ground.
The view from the edge of the abused rasberry patch:
Let's get this furry little guy out of harm's way. I hope his flight to the woods landed safely:
I tore out the side supports on the left. Mostly it was twisting and hand-work with only one application of the saw to weaken a beam. The only appropriate use I could find for the BK2 was cutting away the entangled bittersweet vines and pricker bushes. After that I had to go looking for inappropriate uses. Some parts of the roof are softer than others:
After a bunch of hacking and some stabbing for good measure, I carved a point on a thin piece of lumber. Then I refined it with my belt knife because it was getting jealous. The roof is now down more and less precarious and I have a better idea of what will be needed to really take this thing apart (gas powered recip saw anyone?).
