The old chicken coop at Struan Farm was going to come down one way or another. Once the asbestos walls were removed by the specialist contractor John was meant to pull the remaining structure over with the tractor and then deconstruct. However, he's somewhat cunning my husband: he knew that if he delayed the project long enough what was left of the coop would simply topple over.
And that was what happened. This past weekend we heard a bit of a crack and it started leaning. The next time we checked it had fallen over entirely.
The only problem for John then was that he had to get to work, pulling off the old corrugated iron roof and remaining wooden framing. I did assist, dragging the wood off to the burn pile.
Only the floor and foundations left to go!
