Home Project #2 (Demo): New Landing, Steps, Walkways

Our house before
Cutting into the driveway and demo of old sidewalk

After the demo

Home project number 2 was to fix the sagging front door landing, extend the steps, and replace the old sidewalks with nice walkways. We agreed to do the job on Sunday night and the next morning about 5 am our whole street was awoken by the sounds of a big construction dumpster being unloaded in front of our house. A crew of about 8 guys showed up and demolished everything and cut out the new walkway paths in a single day - with sledge hammers and shovels. The only power tool was the saw to make the curved cut in the driveway. We were impressed.
