Next it was time to attack the reinforced concrete cistern. The digger has various attachments, like a giant Magimix. We used to pump water into the cuve from the well. A gravity system would then take it, in dribbles, to the secret garden. The system gave up a while ago, but there was still water left in the bottom. The digger operator figured we'd missed a chance to make this into a jacuzzi. Brrrr.
We've lost trees and other vegetation, a fence and a building here. We've never felt so exposed to the neighbours.
At the end of the day, all gone. The little window is in our bathroom. It's never seen direct daylight. The remnants of the cuve are below, which will be cut out tomorrow. We were advised to take paintings off the walls, etc. as the vibrations could make things fall, but it went all right. The tower's walls are 70 cm thick, yet you could feel them humming. Pou was very brave. He took to his apartment for the day. Rescue Remedy on his little head helps. Tomorrow, the garage.
