Lift Upgrading (LUP) 1

The huge crane - guess it's purpose?

See how far it stretches?

The crane holds these metal chains which are then tied to the concrete slabs as they get sawn

Oh, so the crane prevents the slabs from falling off

The empty space where the slab used to be

It's been hell of a noise when they started sawing and hammering away the walls for the lift upgrading project at our block of flats. The noise although for pretty short periods of time, still gave Mommy a headache. What a relief that the kids are all in full day school now, so it didn't quite affect their naps. However the house got rather dusty and we're all displaying some symptoms of side effects like cough (Daddy) and sensitive nose (Kieona). The other unfortunate thing is that it has been such a difficult period to work from home.

We're trying to look on the bright side of it all though - it means we can quickly get lifts almost at our doorstep!!!
