I'm one of the carpenters who are demolishing this house (the photo)-- an old house built from hard woods and logs. We are three people doing this. I thought we could do it in two days, apparently we can demolish it totally until afternoon. It's physical job that requires physical strength and you must be strong enough to hold the woods that should be taken out manually. Another hard thing is the heat from the sun that is making us weak. The hardest part to remove is the roof. Thankfully we successfully removed it already. So, what was left are the braces which I think easier job. The foreman told me that we can finish it until 3:30 this afternoon. Once in a while its fun doing this kind of job. I'm not an office boy but because of nature of my work which is usually on field, doing hard work is really good because you sweat. When you sweat, you are having a healthy body.

That's wonderful that you have such kind of talent. You don't have to depend on others when you are a carpenter. You can also make your own wooden furniture and that's great.

@ilocosboy Wooden furnitures are expensive and durable. And it is cool to use it as your country is in the tropical zone.

I will build hatches for my rabbit and pigeons and most will be a replacement to some of the parts in our house.

You're right, physical work will make you healthier.
