I love the sound of a jackhammer first thing in the morning, NOT.
I remember the houses up north were made out of wood. Not the houses down here, all concrete. We don't have a cellar, just a cement slab that the house sits on, and the walls are made out of cement block with poured cement beams. Anything that you want to do to them involves jackhammers and concrete saws.
So as the plumber goes about fitting a new drain for what will become my guest room's shower he has to use a jackhammer to chip away the slab in order to get to the drain pipe and fit a new drain on to it. He has been chipping away at it for two days now.
Our houses are built to withstand a category five hurricane which is great in a hurricane but a real bitch to do work on.
