Keep the carrot, give me a sledgehammer!

Some people use carrots to relieve stress... I have found that a sledgehammer is a far more satisfying method! The lean-to aka utility room and conservatory had to go as a) we want to build an extension and b) we've used all our permitted development allocation for the loft. Having carefully (ish) removed the various glass bits and rotten wood holding the glass in place (I jest not), the remaining brick walls needed to be reduced into a more manageable size for either loading onto a skip or used as hardcore. Enter Stick with a 12lb sledgehammer (I've been working out!). There's something strangely satisfying and therapeutic about reducing a wall to a pile of rubble. The only trouble is, you can't induge over often or you run out of house. Alas, it was over all too briefly; but it was GREAT FUN!!
