Demolition of Old Structure

After Keith gave the go-ahead Luis immediately started with the demolition of the old structure and getting the lot set up for the building of the new buildings.

March 30, 2010 - One very important thing that needed to be done was to salvage whatever could be salvaged. Here you see the worker removing the roof beams. These beams are made of Almond wood (Almondo) and are very hard. So hard that it is difficult to drive a nail through it, and they will last forever. Luis will take these beams and re-finish them to their original beauty.

The structure that Pedro started was not very strong. This became obvious when they removed the beams over the door and the overhang collapsed.

April 5, 2010 - Now the backhoe has begun it's work to completely demolish the old structure. Luis has made arrangements for the debris to be hauled away by truck instead of being shoved over the cliff like some others would do.

April 6, 2010 - ALMOST DONE

April 11, 2010 - Now is gone what was a bad rememberence of a project that went bad. Now, it is time to start again and move forward.
