The above photos were taken before and after the first day of demolition: more of the debris has been removed now, and the spa itself should be removed in its entirety on Monday. Don’t get any silly ideas: I don’t actually do construction or destruction work of this magnitude. This is all being done by various contractors. We have a general contractor who seems like a nice guy to deal with, we’ve almost settled on the roof (the whole 16×30′ expanse will be roofed over), and we just picked out the new spa [2]. 47 jets, 8 horse power, and a little waterfall- I can’t wait, and neither can my aching back!
