We like to break things

Today was demolition day for the inside of the shed. The previous owner had housed a great many birds in there in a complicated series of hand-built cages, all containing the remains of the seed, bedding, feathers and excrement of their former inhabitants. The stench was unbelievable. I lost count of the bird boxes I pulled out, quite spectacularly, when one of them proved to be current housing for a family of mice. Each cage had to be pried out and then swept out. Luckily, the previous owner also left us a pry bar and a sledge hammer. Very handy and very satisfying to wield when things proved stubbornly attached to the wall.
Eventually, with Bob going back and forth loading up the stuff I threw out on the lawn into piles for the dump, we were rewarded with a more or less empty shed and two shed doors that actually open and close. There is much more to be done, of course, but we already have a shed we can put stuff into — woohoo!

    Thanks for stopping the Great Demo to host our little party to visit birds, fish, frogs and dogs. Visiting Brooke was enthralled with it all and has not stopped talking about the wildlife. She also demands to know which dog is our favorite, hers being Silver (of course he licked her toes).
