Over the Weekend: Stair Demolition

Since we're getting new siding (and boarding up our current back door for a new sliding one), the old concrete stairs had to go.

Eric was super excited to use a jackhammer.

But sometime between hour three and six, jackhammering ceased to be fun.

Poor guy. It was a loooot of work. Sometimes I wish I had manlier muscles so I could help with things like this. 

I took this picture this morning. We've hauled a bit of the bigger pieces back to the alley (waiting for a truck to magically appear and take them away) but the smaller ones we will probably sneakily distribute into the back dumpsters.

Step one of our backyard makeover (almost) complete!
