Destruction, Demolition and DeconstructionThe Lone Groover says "I've just taken down a pergola with a metre-deep Russian vine over the top. It had nine birds' nests in it, and had rotted all of the cross timbers. It covered the entire lawn and needs a skip of its own." What's the biggest/worst thing you've ever taken down? Tell us your tales of demolition and wanton destruction.

check, same hereUsed to salvage anything electronic i saw in a skip for components. Had loads of big, blued-copper-cased electrolytics out of old valve radios. Never noticed that the larger the capacity the lower the voltage tolerance printed on the cans. Then built a voltage doubler to take 12vAC from a transformer up to 24v DC, with a pair of 6v rated caps. Bang. Permanent damage to lounge carpet. I was also lucky not to be in the debris cone...
