Destruction, Demolition and Deconstruction
The Lone Groover says "I've just taken down a pergola with a metre-deep Russian vine over the top. It had nine birds' nests in it, and had rotted all of the cross timbers. It covered the entire lawn and needs a skip of its own." What's the biggest/worst thing you've ever taken down? Tell us your tales of demolition and wanton destruction.

Infestation
a few years back - I dismantled a WW2 bomb shelter. Its walls were 3 bricks thick, with a massive slab of reinforced concrete on top.
Quite weirdly it was infested with of all things - Newts. They were in the walls, under the floor, clusters of 10 at a time.
I think at final count we managed to save about 160 of them? we must have killed the same amount again accidentally. never saw them in the garden - only inside the walls. very odd.
