    Actual time was ~5 minutes, and I loved every second. Note that 1D is missing the (2,3) enumeration.
    Highlights for me were 1A and especially 3D, with a special nod to the wordplay of "yet-to-be demolished" in 6A.

      Awesome! Took me forever to get going, but once I parsed out 6A, I was off to the races! I really like that clue. Thanks Bob :)

        Same here… couldn’t get a foothold anywhere, but once that fell, the fun began!
