Tearing Up Concrete

Not only did they take out our oil tank this weekend, Mike and Owen also ripped up the concrete slab of our single car garage.  They needed to take it out in order to eventually pour a new slab for a two car garage and mud room.

Sergio spent a good chunk of Saturday taking out part of the front porch to make room for our mudroom.  He used a saw to cut away a portion of the porch floor (so much dust!) and then went to work with a good old fashioned sledge hammer.  

The construction of the front porch was pretty interesting.  We were surprised to see a that there was nothing but empty space below the porch.  Mike explained that the person that built the porch put plywood down, poured the concrete, and that was it.  They just let the wood rot underneath the porch.
