The demise of the brick wall eh! This almost became a joke between H and I. When he first left he had two brick walls, his first was that he didnt love me any more and his second was he wanted to find out what it was like to be single, we got together as teenagers and married in our early twenties, neither of us was ever really single.
At the beginning both of these walls were fully maintained and even wire protected at the top lol. He would come and visit and I might at first chip away at some mortar. But the following time it would be back built to perfection, then I managed a few odd bricks but again it would be put back up with extra barbed wire by the following visit.
I then didnt see him for a month and when he visited I asked after his brick walls because by this time it had become a joke between us, his reply was that it was just a pile of rubble now and he needed a jcb to clear the last bit up. Now if that was a question to see if I'd jump to it and offer to clear up as us girls are so good at doing it didnt work, my reply was let me know when you have cleared it up and we can talk.
Now the moral of this story is that these walls are self building, you knock a brick off and it goes back up again, this will continue for a while, when you get to rubble status DONT fix it, she HAS to clear it up herself as it she will always feel she has business unfinished. Also once you have defeated the wall watch out for its self building ability and nip it in its bud/foundations stage.
And after all that waffle hoorrrahhhh for the first brick, you have done good mate, keep that bolster chisel at the ready its got work to do lol!
