It'd probably sale for a small fortune. We have some really nice Shepard fairy wall art up in my area that

How did these guys plan on moving it after they got it cut out? From the picture it looks like there are at least 27 block (6'x4' area) and probably weighing a little over 1,000 lbs.

i guess that's the point i am trying to make. They seemed like they were trying to keep things on the DL by putting up a wooden wall and work within that space. Kind of hard to do that when you have to bring in a huge crane to lift and load it on a big truck.

Understood. Guess the camo is for the chiselling and drilling during the removal from the wall. That would be the part that takes the most time. In comparison I'd bet strapping it up and lifting it away is a quick job.

I'm thinking that these guys would have destroyed it in the process...Probably leave a block behind on accident and ruin it for both ends.
