… if this blog is shaking slightly, and making a loud, dentist-drill-style noise. That’s the council workmen downstairs making a thorough meal of demolishing a brick wall that is about 6m long and less than 2m high. Five of them, in a whole day yesterday, managed to demolish about a third of it, using a jackhammer with a brick-bolster-style attachment. Or at least one of them used that, one picked up each brick as it came off, and the others stood around and stereotypically leant on their brooms. It is windier today, so they are leaning into the doorways for shelter instead.
Give me a mid-size sledgehammer and crowbar and I’d have done it single-handed in a day. (OK, I’d be sore after, but then I spend most of my day swinging a keyboard.)
Council workmen are easy targets to take a swing at, and generally I try not to do that, but watching it at close hand is painful. (Not to mention in this case hard on the ears.)
