I don't think the cinder block wall was constructed properly, it was leaning over into our yard and had large cracks all over it. This is what it looked like:
So I was in my kitchen making my morning coffee when I heard a loud bang! I think I had a small heart attack, I seriously thought the bobcat tractor had run into our house! I ran to the window half expecting to see the backside of our house missing but to my relief this is what I saw:
The bobcat in just one pull had knocked down more than half of the wall, it shook the whole house and probably the entire neighborhood! I'm sure there were a few unhappy neighbors who were jolted out of their sleep. They probably thought we were having an earthquake haha.
After the wall was removed we had to deal with a large palm tree that had grow between 4 fences, ours and 3 neighbors and it was knocking everyones fence down. We decided to have it yanked out by the bobcat which was a pretty intense moment I have to say. Our yard is tiny and watching that bobcat straining to pull out the tree while getting closer and closer to our garage had me on pins and needles. At one point the tractor was on just two tires, it was INTENSE! The tree came down in one piece though and no buildings were harmed in the process:)
The work crew cleared everything out and did a excellent job! So now the yard is a big empty lot, well small empty lot actually. Tomorrow we begin work on the new fence and once that is completed we will begin building our new covered deck which I'm super excited about! More photos coming as we make progress on this project!
One of our friends said this reminded him of the T.V. show Big Love hahahaha. No, we are not polygamists, lol!
