Polystyrene columns

Geoff and Fred, demolition experts have been called in to remove the columns and portico from the front of a house in Pearly Drive.

...

Geoff: God. Massive columns.

Fred: Must be a great view from up there. Why does he want to take it down?

Geoff: He doesn’t. He didn’t have a permit and the building inspectors came by and issued a court order to remove it.

Fred: Aw heck. Spoilsports. Looks really swanky.

Geoff: Well, it might look grand but it really doesn’t suit the house. Too “overstated” I heard an architect say.

Fred: Reckon there’s a week’s work there. Maybe we’ll need some charges to knock them down.

Geoff: Won't be necessary. The columns are only molded polystyrene, the deck is plywood. We’ll clean it up by tomorrow night.
