Demolition Day

Today was the day the old program building came down to make way for the new. It was not without some sadness that we watched the old chicken coop come down. A lot of history and memories are connected to that building, not to mention a lot of hard work in renovations and repairs to keep it working for the farm and our programs.

The demolition was remarkably swift and precise. Associated Wrecking did the job with great efficiency and care. Sydney and the kids laid out some flowers just outside the eastern end of the foundation, and they remained untouched throughout. It was quite striking to see the walls and structure look so fragile when confronted with heavy hydraulics and steel.
