This weeks project was removing the HUGE vine of the north end of the building. Seems this vine is over 20 years old and the main trunks were 6 inches in diameter and it climbed the whole height of the building. The hard part was that over the years the vine intertwined with the metal fire staircase and had to be cut floor by floor.
Before the vine was removed
I was fortunate enough of the left side of the building to be able to tie a rope to the cut vine and attach it to my truck. By backing up slowly I was able to pull the whole vine off the building along the upper floors.
Pulling the vine down with my truck
All the vines had to be cut into 20 foot lengths to fit on my trailer. We hauled two trailer loads to the landfill and the back of the building looks a lot better!
Loads of vine
Much better!
Big Difference
Thank you for your efforts. I appreciate you coming to Waynesburg to make it a better place to live and being a positive model for others. Hopefully, others will follow. I wish you the best in this ambitious project.

Thank you very much, I think Waynesburg is a great town, we have lived here since August and are very happy! Of course the true test will be if I can attract a tenant to the building
