BAS destroys home- pictures at 11

[Ad Astra]

Using only my HI British Army Service khukuri, I have managed to demolish my home.

(explains)

House was flooded during hurricane Ivan (and I swear I'll stop crying about this to the forum- I do not want smoke/prayers/sympathy) and we must remove wallboard 48", carpet, etc. to effect "mold remediation" which will make it unlivable in the future.

What better tool than an HI khuk... it cuts, prys, scores. I keep hitting nails, which ding the sweet spot and the chakma can't fix but the e-ze lap diamond does.

So if you ever have the pleasure of having to demolish your own home, I can personally recommend BAS. Not too heavy or long, you can chop, chop, chop all day long. The hottie next door came over and said "I can't believe you're using that pretty knife to do that!". I told her, "They were made to be used."

Besides, I haven't yet mastered the convex sharpening thing. I put an old fashioned 15 degree edge on BAS and it does just fine.

Way cool. Nothing like a little home-front demolition to lighten one's day!

Where's the pic of the hottie??

 

[Spectre]

Yeah, the pic of the hottie doesn't show on my screen either. I keep hitting "refresh", but...nothing.

Sorry guys, she's married to a doctor. I'll look around for a pic of her in the American flag bikini... soaking wet... oh, wait, that's a memory not a pic.

Nice, Frogfish, you got it- the one on the far right.... but she has red hair (not that it matters).

AA you at least, hopefully, have one consolation; that is that you don't have to do said destruction every year or less.
Before the powers that be decided upon and built a dam across Bird Creek there were countless people that got flooded out more than once or twice a year. Some years there were many, many, deep water floods all across the Bird Creek Flood Plain.
Said flood plain runs for several miles from several miles up above Skiatook, I think it is , maybe further, down to the Verdigris river near where we live in Catoosa.
I've seen flotsam and jetsam in the trees for miles across the flood plain as high as maybe 30 feet in the deeper places along 56th st North!
The hell of it is is that it still floods in many areas but the good part is that the floods aren't nearly as bad or as destructive or nearly as often as they used too be.
The water still gets into a lot of houses in the lower laying areas, but at least not too the eaves like it used to do.
I always felt sorry for the poor people who lived in those areas as many had bought not knowing and then were trapped as they were too poor too move out and the land is almost unsalable.
