Continuing on from last summers job of removing render, I started removing the render from the upper half of th house, this is no easy task as it has been up there for a very long time. Judicious use of the lump hammer and an assortment of cold chisels removes most of it, then it's down to an air hammer fitted with a with chisel. The other day when I started it was bitterly cold with persistent showers, today was completely different , a clear sky and when the sun came round my side of the house it was decidedly hot, being a bit on the short side puts you at a disadvantage when the wall is ten feet tall, so borrowed a set of tower scaffolding from a neighbour.
These jobs play havoc with your hands especially when you keep whacking them with the lump hammer.
