When I described the state of play to a friend, his eyes widened and he asked “Oh, so you bought just a shell?!” Actually, we did buy a full flat complete with walls, appliances and everything else – but everything was in such dire condition that we basically turned it into a shell !
It took 3 days to demolish everything, and 2 more days to get rid of all the debris. In the end, the debris filled two 12-yard skips (dumpsters)! That's probably 5-8 tonnes (tons) of debris!

| Almost there! |

| A very full skip |

The skip being hauled onto the truck.
It's so heavy the truck is actually doing a wheelie! |
