After meetings with our architect and months of town permit hearings, the day arrived to take down the old house. Of course it was exciting to begin, but I couldn't help thinking about the family who summered here for years and years. The house was kept in the same family since it was built in 1927. It was pouring rain on take down day, and we took the kids out of school to watch the demolition. The excavator let the boys work the machine, which was a huge hit. Even my husband took a turn! I hope that some day, they will look back at that day and remember how it all began.
