Porch renovation - Week 1 (Jun 3-8)

This week was all about demolition. Really, work didn't start until Wednesday, but things just trucked along once underway. In short order, there was nothing left.

	Front face of the porch after the railings were gone
	West view of the porch after the railings were removed
	Here is the ceiling of the east side of the porch. The wood in there against the house is in incredible shape - looks like its almost new and it's been there for 70+ years.
	Ceiling again, about mid way across
	And still more ceiling, west side of the porch
	A east looking full length shot of the ceiling. Yeah, I'm going a little nuts, but it's not likely to see the light of day again after this project.
	Here's a mid construction photo. The deck is gone and you can see the sledgehammer coming down to destroy the old concrete steps. About 1 millisecond after this photo, the sledgehammer handle busted in two.
	And here's the final product. The entire porch and columns has been removed. All that remains is some temporary supports to hold the roof up while the new porch is being built.
	Same as above, but shown from the front
	And the obligatory same shot taken from the west
