D is for DESTRUCTION! >:-D

Today is the day that our old premises begin to be destroyed. Already 
the doors and some of the windows are missing. Apparently today the roof 
comes off.

KILL! KILL! KILL!

Meh. They're recycling all the materials, so it's not like they just 
smash it to pieces.

I have no idea what that words means - but from experience, swinging a 4 
lb lump hummar is... completely ineffective, actually.

When they knocked down this old garage opposite us they took the wooden/felt 
roofing off by hand, then drove a digger into the brick walls repeatedly. 
It looked quite fun.

Yeah - but probably harder than it looks. ;-)

My dad's sofa.

(Yes, he did ask me to do this. Said it would fit in the car easier in 
pieces. After about an hour, having inflicted approximately 2% damage, I 
got bored. And exhausted...)

See, we had to demolish a fireplace enclosure, and we used a good-sized 
sledge and a normal claw hammer.  But the materials used were chipboard 
and fake stone, so it went pretty quick with those.  I could hit our sofa 
in particular places and not cause any damage, even with the sledge 
(which I think weighs about 20 lbs).
