If you’re planning on spending large sums of money on dubious therapies, don’t. I really mean it. Forget what it says in those celeb magazines, (“I spent two days in a hole in the ground, and now I feel great”), and listen to me. If you feel frustrated, angry, depressed, lethargic, overweight or underpaid, I have the therapy you need. It’s called “knocking down walls”, and I am its guru. It’s a money-back, guaranteed way to feel better about the world.
I’ve been smashing down this ridiculous ‘dry lining’ wall in the bathroom that some idiot had previously told himself was a good idea. Here’s a pic of my stunning luxury bathroom (you want one too, don’t you!). Picking up a large hammer and bashing down these things the French laughingly call “briques” is the most satisfying thing I’ve done since… the last time I bashed a wall down.
So, go on, bash down a wall! And if you don’t have any walls, go and bash a friend’s wall down. If you have no friends, join a volunteer organisation like Wwoof and they’ll give you a whole list of people who need walls bashing down.
With all the money you’ve saved on not getting pointless, happy-clappy therapies, you’ll be able to pay a man to come round and rebuild your walls!

My therapy is similar, but outdoors. I break up half an acre to an acre of solidly impacted ground using a mattock, crowbar and agricultural hoe. It tends to take a while…

Hi, I had some ‘therapy’ when we started renovating this house. I knocked plater of of several walls to take them back to granite. Smashing madly with a big hammer did me the world of good, and scrubbing at the stones with a wire brush was ok as well. Then having taken out al my aggression, I could clear up, put some music on and re-point it all. I have to say, it looks great.

[...] I showed you some pictures of the bathroom as I demolished the walls, here is what it looks like now… The walls have been covered with a rustic-finish mortar [...]
