Breaking Rocks

We've asked a pal, who's a landscape gardener by profession, to help us transform our back yard into a garden (and are paying him for his services).

We're looking forward to having grass. To prepare for this the concrete floor where the garage/shed used to stand has to be broken up.

Spent a couple of hours today helping him do this, with a whizzer (aka angle grinder), a sledgehammer, a pick and a giant crowbar. We've now got about half of the ex-garage area broken up.

I'm now aching, and have a few blisters on my hands. Now I know why this sort of activity is traditionally a punishment for convicts. Owch!
