The moment we've been waiting for for 18 months since we purchased the apartment finally happened this week - the knocking out of the back wall. I felt equally excited and nervous about it seeing as there are 5 stories of brick above it that needed supporting.

After all the meticulous planning and months of waiting, the actual method of bashing it down with a sledge hammer did seem rather rudimentary but who am I to judge! Here is the before and after...
