Brick Rubble
Strange animals in my garden?
In my garden for the past few nights, something has been digging a sort of tunnel through the fence - leaving a pile of soil and rubble (bricks, that sort of stuff.)
What could it be?
I don't live in the country, but i don't live in the very centre of the city.
We get a lot of foxes round here- could that be it?
We think they're pretty strong, or quite smart, because we tried to fix up the fence with stronger stuff, and it broke through again.
And if you know what it is, could you tell me how to get rid of it?
I do NOT want to harm or kill it in any way whatsoever, just discourage it, that's all.
Thank-you!
Sounds like a mole. You would be surprised how strong they are. If it is then you want to get control of 'em fast. I haven't found anything that works but I've been dealing with them for at least 4 years now - my whole neighborhood has.....

| | Rubble $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rubble is broken stone, of irregular size, shape and texture. This word is closely connected in derivation with rubbish, which was formerly also applied to what we now call rubble. Rubble naturally found in the soil is known also as brash (compare cornbrash). Where present, it becomes more noticeable when the land is ploughed. Rubblework is a name applied to several species of masonry. One kind, where the stones are loosely thrown together in a wall between boards and grouted with mortar almost like concrete, is called in Italian muraglia di getto and in French bocage. In Pakistan, walls made of rubble and concrete, cast in a formwork, are called situ, a word which probably derives from the Latin in situ meaning made on the spot. Work executed with more or less large stones put together without any attempt at courses is called rubble walling. Where similar work is laid in courses, it is known as coursed rubble. Drystone walling is somewhat similar work done without the use of mortar. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

I have heard when the french revolutionaries stormed the Bastille they tore it down by hand, brick by brick?
I also heard they gave away pieces of the rubble as symbols of the destruction of monarchy and the rise of the people. I want a piece of the Bastille. Where can I buy it at? Strange question I know, but I am serious. Will a museum in France sell it to me or something??
Take a look at the links below on what happened to the Bastille. Some of the stones may be scattered all over and in families, but you can see some of them (link below) in Paris; a model of the prison made out of its stone is in the Carnavalet Museum.

You may be able to locate and buy one but, as another answerer says, it will probably be pretty much priceless.

#77 — lol! That's quite a story, Steve, and well-told. I trust you're OK after that, with no more than a bruised chagrin.
Your story reminded me of an old comedy routine, describing a series of connected accidents, where a guy tells a story about using a pulley and rope to raise a load of bricks to the roof. Just at the top, the ratchet breaks and the heavy load comes down. But the guy holds onto the rope and so goes up, receiving a smart bang from the down-coming bricks on the way. At the top, his fingers get jammed into the pulley, and at the bottom the bricks hit the ground and their pallet breaks. Now, with no counter weight, back down he goes receiving a smart bang by the remains of the pallet coming up, and at the bottom lands on a hard heap of brick rubble, breaking his leg.
Let's see, shoes with knobby soles for Toronto's globally-warmed black ice winters, a supplement of acetylcholine for memory, and Peet's coffee instead of Starbuck's. All of that might produce a material improvement, especially subbing Peet's for Starbuck's.
But better yet, Steve, avoid the whole business and move to California. We're having a mild winter and it's presently sunny and 20 C outside. The birds of spring actually returned last week, and are chirping up their nesting spaces even as I type. The worst walking hazard, apart from someone cruising through a stop sign, are the small buckles in the sidewalk left by the Loma Prieta earthquake.
