Nails, Spikes, Studs.
Things were done thoroughly
Punk ass beams
Older than …

Pippi is inspecting the new containers.
- Wood: 3
- Rubble: 4

Another weekend
Just another weekend
breaktrough
This weekend was the first time you could see all the way from front to back. BTW: can a beam pull pillars towards each other (top picture)?
Chipping away (layers again)
As ceilings and walls disappear, the floor demands attention. Just as the ceilings, it is made up of layers. I counted 4-ish at most. Some layers are rather easy going (thin layers of poured cement or loosely stacked bricks deep down), some layers are pretty sturdy (30cm thick concrete … blocks). One layer has claimed its first victim… A 6kg sledge hammer.
History II
As a kid (<deep-voice>a long, long time ago</deep-voice>) I ‘collected’ stickers from mandarins and oranges. Several paint sessions have respected that piece of art since. I can but express my gratitude and keep this relic for just a bit longer
Tranquilo
Even in a three 10 hour day weekend of demolition (djeeez, never ever had hands this sore) there’s moments of rest. If I wasn’t as tired, I would have sat down for a bit and stare at the sheer beauty. Had to go to bed though…
Last stand
Some things are important. Coffee for one (and therefor the kitchen I suppose). Shielded by a dust cover the treasury is living its final moments.
Self portrait
People usually leave their name somewhere in the building during construction. This part must have been from before the alphabet. Self portrait of the carpenter I guess 🙂
