Last week before the bees halted work the demolition was started on the old deck.

Pry bars and saws became the order of the day.

Standing on top the deck or down below the old wood started flying and was safely deposited into the nearby dumpster.

Soon the joist had been cut off and only the uprights remained around the outside edge of the deck.  But the bees were starting to take get angry with the activity and work had to stop.

So debris and tools were pick up and put away and work halted until the bees were gone. 

This is how it remained until last Tuesday when the bees were gone and the workers reappeared!
