                  You're really looking forward to this aren't you  😉

                  It also sounds like the title of an ultra violent James Bond film, "The Man With The Diamond Tipped Chainsaw"…

                          However after spending a number of years working on building sites quite often in the vacinity of diamond drilling teams I know how painfully slow diamond drilling can be especially through deep walls.

                                OMG handheld core drilling, dry I might add, while standing on a ladder. Holy shit that’s not fun.

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                        I hear that. That’s why I got out of the business. The amount of paperwork and permits needed to do the work was unreal. But everybody has to eat I suppose. That order of operations creates jobs for Inspectors, engineers and everyone who works under them. But when they ain’t looking…. I’d demo a house in the middle of the night
