Burning and Taking Down a Building

Linda started our day with a pancake breakfast and then I went down to the firepit with Brent. We dinked around until we had the fire burning again, so we threw some more wood on. Brent brought the chainsaw down there and we used it to cut a wall in four pieces and then placed them on the fire one at a time letting the fire burn down before throwing on another wall piece. The walls were from us tearing down part of the shed a couple of weeks ago. Linda, Pauline and Stacey came down with the dogs and we trimmed some bushes and burnt those trimmings too. Linda raked the leaves away from the flowers and we used the mulching mower to cut those up. Stacey and Pauline rode with Brent in the TR3 while Linda and I rode in the Mustang to town and we ate a late lunch at Subway. Once back at the farm I tossed some more drift wood on the fire to keep it burning. We decided to tear down the shed in front of the hay shed, so I took the tractor over and tore part of the roof off while Brent and Linda were hooking up the black trailer to the Mule.
   
 
   
Then I pushed the building off the blocks and used the scoop to lift up one side and tip the building on to it's side. It was a little scary, because I didn't want the building to fall into the front of the hay shed. After the building was on it's side, Brent and I used crowbars and hammers to pry and pull the old metal roofing loose and placed it on the black trailer behind the Mule. Once one side of the roof was done, we drove up the road to one of the dumpsters the Circuit Court had placed around the county for spring cleanup. We tossed the sheets of old roofing in the dumpster and returned to remove the other side. Then we took that load up there and dumped it in the dumpster too.
   
I then raised Brent up in the tractor scoop and he hooked a chain around the rafters and then I backed the tractor away from the building and he and I hooked the chain to the tractor scoop. I slowly backed the tractor away from the building pulling it down until it was flat on the ground. We quit as I told Brent I could manage from there, now that the building was on the ground. Pauline and Brent left about 6:30 with their dogs. Linda and I went back to the shed and I used the saws-all to cut off some pieces of wood and we trailered them over to the fire pit using the Mule. We hauled three loads over, burnt those and quit for the night as it was getting dark.
