How else would my firefighter husband choose to demo a house?

With our log cabin dream starting to take root we decided to lose the house. It was too far gone. We wanted to spend all of our time, money and energy on our new plans. But before we could burn it down we had tons of work to do. The house was emptied, two huge trees were cut down and removed from the yard, drop ceiling tiles - carpet - shingles (anything harmful to burn) had to be removed, mechanicals from the Michigan basement were dragged out and well and septic connections were located and rerouted. We were exhausted as well as the family and friends we bribed into helping us.
Firefighters from all around helped to coordinate the live burn efforts. Everything went off without a hitch. It was a little sad for us and the neighbors to see the home go but at the same time we were excited. All our efforts were getting us closer to our ultimate goal.
