I've heard a lot over the past few days. I'm in a bit of overload right now, trying to straighten what's true and what's not. I actually heard someone say that they had Kermit the Frog on site, but I'm not fairly sure that wasn't quite true. :lol:

well, my sources are: www.philadelphiaeagles.com
and
comcast sportsnet. (i watched the 76ers game and they showed the cast there - one had an iverson jersey on - the announcers said they were really into it!) I haven't heard about Kermit, but that would be cooL! I know they went to Pat's and Geno's for cheesesteaks (wpvi.com - action news) and that Ty did a whole "Rocky" scene with others too. I can't wait until it airs! (i know it's not even done yet! ha ha)
Thanks for taking pictures and all! That's great that you are close enough to do that!!!! :sohappy:

:lol: I didn't doubt you.

I'm beginning to think that person was talking about a past show, as I recently saw a picture on Wikipedia where Kermit made a guest appearance.

I saw some the Rocky sequence, I believe they mentioned something about 22 takes before they got I right.

I've never really watched the show before, but I'll be sure to watch this one.

I have plenty (100+ :lookaroun ), but at the moment I'm having some trouble getting them uploaded. They'll be up as soon as possible, as well as [hopefully] more in the coming days.
Well, I may as well start recounting the events now.
Let's start with Thursday.
First off, the road on which the house is/was located was closed down and barricaded to all but local traffic late Wednesday night, and has not since reopened (for obvious reasons). Not much in the form of visible work was done, but I did pass by the house and noticed a film crew doing some work filming the "before" segment of the house. Mostly likely, any remaining prep work (removing anything from the house, preparing for demolition) was done for the following morning.

Wow that is cool!
TGIF!
On Friday, although I personally did not witness it, destruction of the old house began in the morning and was finished around 10-11 AM. The land was cleared and prepared for the concrete work, and at [approx.] 3:00PM concrete work began. On further inspection (see: snooping around :lookaroun ), it appeared that work was going extremely quickly. At least three cement trucks and two cement pump cranes (I'm not sure of the technical term) were on site, and more trucks were lined up to move into position as the others' loads dwindled. Also, approximately five dump tricks were lined up and hauling away waste. At around 8:00PM a large crane arrived on site, to be put to use later.
