Day 628: Bringing out the big tools now

Remember that monster base from the lost column of the Parthenon that I found in the garden? For those with short term memories or casual followers of the blog, click here.

Basically, it was too big to lift into the skip. Too big to do much with at all except roll around the garden squashing bugs and toes, which somehow loses it's appeal pretty quickly.

But with the help of some POWER TOOLS it's time to turn the block into dust (or at least smaller, more manageable pieces)



So, courtesy of our neighbour Scott (great name BTW), I borrowed a jackhammer. A totally unnecessary tool in any DIY'ers toolbox, but is it ever fun to borrow.

Fully assembled now ...


So, with a little bumping and thumping .. the massive slab of concrete was reduced to rubble. Soooo much fun.

Thanks Scott!

The best part of all this is ... I'll get to do it again with another pillar sometime soon.
