ESPECIALLY FOR ERIK

These pictures we took especially for Erik. He is the demolition man in the family. He has a company that destroys buildings. We wanted to show him how they do that in India. When we first arrived we asked each other, "Are they building it up, or tearing it down?" This is definately a tear it down. This is a building that sits next to our apartment building and we have watched the entire
process. We just didn't get any pictures of the building before they started. It was 3 stories high and these guys brought it down 1 hammer strike at a time.




Here they saw we were taking their picture and posed for us. I motioned that I wanted them to be working when I took the picture....not posing.



Immediately they went to work and their hammers were swinging faster than I had ever seen them swing. They guy in blue is climbing down so he can come and look at the picture before I leave.




Almost finished. All of rubble was loaded into trucks and hauled away. Such hard work.
