Banging headache

The sledgehammer/rubble noises are not coming from the house behind - they are coming from behind the house next door and they still knocked a picture off my wall!

This house is a bit of a mystery. It is owned by a local firm, as far as anyone can tell, and has been boarded up for about five years. Every now and then he will send some lads in who aren't doing anything else and they will do some more. This usually involves rubble. This is the house where they knocked down the front cellar wall and the entire front of house was held up on two scaffolding poles. If it had gone then there would have been an interesting domino effect on the eight houses joined together. I have no idea what is currently involved. It appears to be extreme open plan. When we moved in to this area that house was an immaculate owner occupier house, beautifully maintained. Now the garden is indescribable and the house is a building site. It is very sad.

And a few doors down, where Her Three Doors Down used to live, they have a leather sofa stuck in the door. I am leaving them to it.
