The good thing is, when you master it.... Margaret can sub-contract you out to the shed demolition crew.
See..... ideas.
I'll have to finish the mammoth yard retaining wall project and then the two tier parking area out the back before I'll be available for shed destruction duties
I'm about halfway through removing the top section of this rock so I can get a level platform to reverse the truck in to unload the truck canopy ... all the way back against the rock wall now is the required criteria to allow the canopy to come home and be placed there ... that way she can't see it from the front deck viewing platform

Then I have to rebuild the existing lean to bit to the new specs so the truck can still go in there but the rustic farm look remains
Naturally, this will require further retaining wall construction so the truck can drive forward to clear the new "made to look original" lean to part so I don't knock down the timber posts on the way in and out ......
Discovered the rock I'm picking away at is a bit of an iceberg type of thing, only a small part of the overall size is showing above ground .... so the crack I was following yesterday appears to have gone through to the earths core or something, so it required breaking up in smaller pieces horizontally to finally get all my trapped tools out

the jackhammer doesn't work in anything much out of the horizontal position because the chisel head bit jams in the tool receiver part far enough down for the impact part not to hit the top of the chisel bar, so it required driving steel pry bar into the rock using a block hammer to free one of the chisel bits ... then carve it out bit at a time .......
Surprising just how much rock and fill come out and how much of the increased retaining wall it builds
