On the first point - does make sense. On the second - it's delivering the other jobs you have already lined up I was thinking about. I can certainly imagine the client wanting the demolition finished asap though.

Many possible reasons for that - eg the contractor has two excavators and operators, and they need them somewhere else soon.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice the two types! I was wondering whether one quarry had made a market. Guess it's just a thing people expect to find. Interesting speculation why Italy has that and we don't.

Are they all from the same source, or same principle different suppliers?

And the flip-side to the lintel that wants to pass as an arch is the hidden key. Where the limitations of the stone call for an arch, but the appearance of an arch is unwanted, we get an arch in denial, with flat soffit and apparently vertical—not radial—joints.

Unusually wide construction joint, with whole stone sitting in there.
