Clearing the way for an excavator

Today we woke up full of energy. After morning coffee, it was decided that the first thing to do was to buy a chainsaw to be efficient. An hour later Pekka returned with his Makita.

And what did we do? The goal was to empty and clean the terrace area, including removal of about 130 concrete blocks each weighing 29 kg. The excavator would arrive on Monday morning at 8.00 am. To make a long story short, we made it.

In the spirit of recycling, 66 concrete blocks were sold on a Facebook flea market. Hope they serve well their new owner!

Blocks in line

Urho proved himself once again of being very skilled in positioning himself in very ungrateful places as related to where the action was. Call it a dachshund's luck, but once again he survived a day of serious renovation without a scratch.

What on earth...?
