Villa is on its way out

 During three days of dry warm weather, we were able to make a big dent on the villa.  Because the ceinling was pretty robust, we could stand on that to attach the gable end.

Without gable end

With gable end

Sadly, during the process of taking things apart, my Blackberry must have got a bit bashed.  The screen was alightly cracked, the loud speaker made it sound like everyone was talking through a kazoo, and the camera only made blurry pictures.  The fuzzy image shows the view just before the corner under the gable end furthers from the river was knocked through.  The chunk on the top is some massive kind of ring anchor, which none of our tools can penetrate.  The column is now gone and the ring anchor is hanging in space above half the walls.

And I had to get a new Blackberry today.
