On Friday a man who looked to have recently been rescued from a desert island turned up with a big hammer and commenced to knock the heck out of the brick cladding on those external walls which will eventually disappear. He became a little too enthusiastic at times, with the result that we can now see daylight from a few places. We can also see daylight through one power point, which I am not too sure about. His over-enthusiasm also led to him having to give up before he could attack the other end of the house, on account of a sore back.
Today a different man with a different hammer appeared and finished the job. Also the "chippies" appeared, to make a start on the framing. This was a great disappointment to the kids, who were expecting the kind of "chippies" you can get from McDonalds.
Leaving aside the laughter of children, is there any better sound than that of a circular saw going through a plank of wood?
