We went all over town looking for hammer and/or chisels but all of the hardware stores had sold out. We finally bought some on the street and my kids chiseled off huge chunks of the wall that we still have around here somewhere. I have the photos around here somewhere, too ;-) Air pollution was so bad at that time that you couldn't breathe or see. Has that improved? Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
