Manual destruction

Some time back, I could observe the house across the street from where I lived being teared down. The wiry, dark-skinned men who worked there did not take the aid of machines, but used shovels and spears and sledge-hammers to crush the three storey brick building to pieces. At times their work was very precarious. As when this man was sawing off the wires (not the branch) he was sitting on.
