Well, the concrete isn't all gone, but it's nicely smashed up.
Coming home today I pulled up behind a construction van that was parked in front of the house, then noticed the huge mound of rubble in the alley between our house and the neighour's. Still not sure if the neighbour was having work done, I plunked my stuff on the porch and came across a young guy walking out from the alley.
Are you working behind my house?" I said. "Yes" he replied.
So, the water proofing has begun! It was just one guy today and he did and nice and neat job of smashing up the concrete platform that ran along the back on the house. I'm glad to see it go. It was ugly. He did leave an awkward stump though because it doesn't interfere with the work that needs doing. I wondering if we can get it removed as well if we offer more money. It's worth a shot seeing as they have the tools and will be hauling it all away anyways. Could also be cheaper than getting someone else in there later on.
The guy will be back tomorrow along with someone else to do the digging. Hopefully the rain will hold off until the weekend so the major work can get done this week.
