A bit of advancement on "The Tank" obs.

I was able to get a lend of a demolition saw over the new year break, so have cut a hole in the wall of the tank to put a door in.

The cuts aren't to straight as it was hard holding the saw straight.
The torque when 1st turned on was huge and had a big kick. But the hardest part was combating the gyroscopic effect from the 14" blade.

Unfortunatly I had to cut from both sides as the wall ranged from 12.5cm(5") at the top, to 14.5cm(5 3/4") at the bottom and I only had 10cm(4") cutting depth.

Doing the bottom cut, I destoyed the blade on a piece of reo running right across where I was cutting. Of course i couldn't see it till I had pushed the slab out. So a quick trip to Just Tools to get a new blade. Those blades are a lot more expensive than I imagined.
