John Ski was on hand to take the first swipe at the demo that morning – 43 years after he oversaw the demolition of the previous stone FIC main building. John’s son Jim Ski, owner of Ski Construction, carried on from there.

The pro shop was gone and next was the office, front hall and into the living room before the day was done. As Jim worked his way through the building he also used the excavator to ‘chew up’ the demolished material for hauling.
Wednesday, December 7
A gloomy day which actually helped keep the dust down and much progress was made!
Thursday, December 8 – Day 3
Lots of progress with the living room and dining room gone.
Friday, December 9 – Day 4 – Done and done!
And, for the grand finale…
