Next door's knockdown aka house removal is proceeding apace - guys were there early and got stuck right in.
So far there's already been one "whoa! crash" and one clanging noise "Nice work Andy, you fucking broke it!"
Get your bets down as to whether the house makes it out the gate in one piece, or at least the pieces it's supposed to be in.

So they're moving the whole house? Wow.

Apparently so! It was built in the twenties or thereabouts so the plan is to cart it away elsewhere and build another house or houses on the block.
Hopefully I'll be out before that really gets underway...
