A little too close

The little boy came out in me as I watched with enjoyment as our neighborhood house was torn down in a matter of minutes. I was up working on my computer and looked over to see the whole house shaking so I put on my coat and watched. Here are a couple of pictures.







So at this point most houses have gone down, but this one wasn't going down so easy. Guess it is time to push the left wall in so it falls to the right, AWAY from our house.


Things were going so well, until the ENTIRE house came down. The roof slid off the top of the house, the backhoe driver had to get out of the way so the house doesn't come down on him.



As you can see that is our gas meter, and the house is about 6 inches from hitting it. That would not have been good.

I was nervous the whole time they were tearing it down, but the backhoe driver just about had to change his pants when the house came down so suddenly.

Now you can see the house it down. Nothing like 1 hour to tear a house down.
