Wednesday and Thursday I demo'ed the back yard overhang. I don' really know what else to call it. It was a structure 20'x20' that wasn't built very well, and ready to fall over. I have always hated that overhang. It was made of 2x4 posts, and 2x6's placed 16" on center with blocking in-between. On one side it had a 4x12 beam, and it was covered in corrugated tin. It was so ugly and my backyard seems bright and huge with it gone.

Friday the dumpster arrived and I started the exhausting job of hauling construction debris. Normally it takes 4
days to fill it, but I need to get it done in three. The concrete dumpster, along with the concrete demo guys will be here on Monday. I need to remove the concrete patio in the back before the stucco gets applied so the removal doesn't damage the new stuff. Then, the stucco guys will be here on Tuesday.

What I didn't say in my last post, but was thinking is that I am, and will always be grateful for sobriety and the program. The thing that I struggle with is being around alcohol. I am just tired of being around it, and always on guard. Outside of AA, and a few isolated activities like fencing, mining etc, I interact with a lot of normal people who drink normally. They don't have a problem with drinking, I do. I just wish it wasn't such an ever present issue with me.
