Huff and puff and blow your house down

So, I offered a price for the cabin knowing that the logs on the outside might be rotten. The owners accepted my offer and I hired them to tear the bricks down. They had the equipment to knock the bricks down and bury nearby. I later sold some of the flooring to offset this cost. Under the bricks was clapboard siding! It came off pretty easy and was burned. It was added circa 1900 and was not very useable.
