My favourite corner grinding machine can break not only concrete walls or ceramic and granite, but also a heavy reinforcement rods with special disk. This produces nice fireworks.

Unfortunately most of the time it is located in so unconvenient places, that making a good photo with the timer is not easy. For example we can apprise my back and flying fireworks.

Today I finished all the diry works. Not counting shelve installations or similar tasks, which require screwing the concrete walls with the perforator, but really dirty tasks like glueing the tiles (or filling the holes with the plaster), sawing the walls (or tiles), plastering the walls, floor or ceiling, painting and so on.
And tomorrow... Stay tuned, and you will reach tomorrow news.
Just curious, but in the US, an apartment is something you usually rent. Any work is done by the land lord and in fact you probably are not allowed to do any modification. Do you own the unit (what we would usually call a 'condo, or I guess 'flat' in the UK')?
Also, your CAPTHCA defeated me several times. The letters are often not legible.
Yes, I bought my small loft about 3 years ago and used to rent before at different places. It is of course different for everyone, but I really did not like to rent the appartments, even when it was located very comfortably (what I can not say about this one, it takes way too long to get to the Moscow office :)
That's how it looked during the development.
