Ouch

Yesterday I was carving up the concrete drive to do a new connection to the 1960 clay storm water pipe. Using the rented demolition hammer, 3 hours standing over the concrete and another 3 hours in the hole. I managed to baby the large hammer so as not to fracture the exposed pipe.
Afterward, wife wanted a small but deep garden wall broken up and removed.
So after 8 hours hard work, my back is extremely sore, my arms have pins and needles 12 hours later and I've worn the pads of quite a few fingers (luckily not my index fingers, I can still type).
I now have about two and a half tons of concrete on the side of my drive, waiting disposal.

Today I returned the demolition hammer to the hire company. Got the young fella to lift it out the car as I'm just too sore for such a heavy lift

And followed it up with a bit of shopping and coffee and cake.
I was surprised to get "mam" and even invited to a Ladies night promo, with free food.
