Cat/Art Studio

Some of you know that things have gotten a little topsy turvey right outside the door of the Cat/Art Studio.  Dominion Power has high voltage lines at the back of our property and they have access if needed.  Well we found out several months ago that they were going to increase the voltage of the lines and had decided to use 'their' access.  As a result, they are clearing 'their' part of everyone's property.  Alan built our garden house years ago ~ with all the necessary permits ~ but it had to go.  Today was the day of the actual move preceeded by days of work on his part.  I thought you might like to see the progress made this morning ~ with the help of James, Alex, Josh AND Alex's big crane!

Garden house intact ~ Alan cut it down the middle.

Separating the two parts of the house.

Reminds me of the Wizard of OZ

Separated and turning…

Moving toward the new foundation.

Beginning of reconstruction…

And, yes, they are out there working now to enclose the house.  And, Alan tells me the windows will be lowered and the siding will go back on so ~ sometime in the future ~ we will have a pretty garden house again (somewhat taller!).  What a morning!  (Now, back to Christmas!)
