We got the roof off and we took down the walls. That only left the concrete floor.
Martin hired the Makita demolition hammer that we used to break up the concrete pad under Freya's kennel. Three hours later, he had managed to break off .. 2 cm over a thin slice at the end.
Step up Mr Cross with his mini-digger and pecker (not being smutty - a pecker is a hammer action concrete breaker that goes on the digger arm).
It took him eleven hours but he managed.
The concrete was reinforced with a heavy steel mesh and there were steel bars running through the foundations under the garage walls. Not even Mr Cross' pecker would break that - he had to lever it up and cut the steel with a saw.
Another concrete mountain is awaiting collection by the grab lorry, destination concrete crusher.
26 Feb - The concrete is on its way to the crusher - aboard a 20-tonne grab lorry.
