Tearing Down the House

Our next door neighbors moved out a few weeks ago. Last week they sent this giant excavator to knock down their house. Here's the view from our living room:

I love this in so many ways.

1) Every time we pull into the driveway I announce, "Here we are at our excavator!"
2) I'm allowed to sit at the window in a big chair, watch the construction and eat snacks.
3) After the excavator, we got a bulldozer, dump truck, dumpster and flat bed truck.
