40 minutes to go
The water is turned on
The digger moves in
The first bricks come crashing down
The front doors are removed
The roof is lifted off the creche
The front corner of the building has gone
Watching from the street
The first break into the main hall
The inside of the hall is exposed
The digger grabs a bundle of girders from the roof
Only the far end is left
Just the back wall to go
Finished!
Two days later...
