Smashing, Bashing and Crashing.

The last three/four days have been fun and hard at the same time. There is not a lot to write about really. We got to the work site, and we got told what we were doing. Demolition. - well more like disassemble. We were in a floor of an office block, and they wanted it gutted. Walls - gone, ceiling - gone, air ducts - gone. It all had to go. So we started off by carrying the plasterboard sheets and dropping it into a huge skip (bin) that was about 8 foot high, so getting heavy boards into it was difficult. But we eventually got to use the hammer, and despite tarks' protests, smashed things to break it - if in doubt, hit it harder. "You can break screws you know tarks".. haha
It was pretty physical work, and after coming home, we were spent. But we earned over 300 euro in 3 days, so that will help a lot. Was pretty sore on friday, had my kids do alot of pushups, they are not very good at doing them, and I felt so mean making them do about 20% of what we do in Aus. So friday night we went to training, saturday was lazy - I went to hockey again, we had a birthday party of one of the guys last night, and it is off to hockey today. An important game - we have a chance to get to 3rd place - which means we play a final to go upto the next league. But we lose - and we are out. We will see what happens.

Only a short update. - We are heading to Luxembourg on tuesday as andrew is going to meet his parents in Amsterdam. So me and mark will head south to find out what the smallest country in Europe has to offer. Bye for now.
