Right off the bat this morning, it fell to Daniel and Jose to try to rescue my Clematis Armandii and they did a great job.

 I wouldn't have thought to cut it away from the old railing and tie it to the giant beam...they were really careful and we will just have to see how it fares with all this action.  My sister gave me this plant, so it is one of those special ones.

 Rick and Andres take down the front porch/deck.  According to Mat, they disturbed lots of meat bees and those pesky wood bees...when I stepped out on the "bridge", I meet the bees too, but I missed the masses that followed the dumpster to the landfill!

 What to do about Koko?  Temporary Plywood so she can't scale the walls and head out into the great big unknown...you can see my bridge...three feet wide with custom railings!!!!

 As a counterbalance to all that destruction, the new windows for the laundry room arrived, the dogs will be happy tonight to have a little breeze.

And a final shot of the bridge to the house!  I don't like heights, but if I don't look down too much, I can handle it.  And there is even room for Khorkina to have breakfast out there until it has to be taken down.  Tomorrow the hunt for more dry rot and then we should be through with surprises!
