It may not look like much, but this Green atrocity is going to become our family home. Hopefully whilst we are renovating we won’t create an even bigger monstrosity or for our budget to blow out. Kevin McLeod popped around the other day and commented on the task ahead of us and held grave fears that we would be in by Christmas 2010…… We’ll see Kevin, we’ll see!
Although being posted now, the below photo’s are from October 2009!
Aerial View – it’s the house with the Red car in the front:
At the back is the lovely asbestos shed, which has just been removed as seen below, the rest however is all original.
and here is a picture of Inca and Sisko watching the renovations.
Here’s a few photo’s pre demolition:
It’s Time to DESTROY!
And introducing Dean. He was unable to help due to his back condition….. (oh Vinnny), but he still managed to pick up pieces of wood:
Who said you couldn’t be fashionable and destroy!
There goes the sunroom:
HULK SMASH!
Whilst this was all going on outside, Kathryn “The Dismantler” Knox was using her fists of fury to take down the kitchen…. from the inside.
I’m not sure if we should have moved into this area, as it seems there are quite a few try hard graffiti artists around:
Goodbye Kitchen – from the outside. Introducing every ladies friend, Jake our Chippie (you’ll see more of him later):
Goodbye Roof!
New Kitchen in Wixtopia.
Now that our kitchen has well and truly been destroyed, we needed some “out of the box thinking” to “shift the traditional paradigm” of what/where a kitchen should be located in a house……. solution, THE STUDY. Using modern furniture moving techniques, we took some of the old kitchen – cut it to size with a CHAINSAW and placed it on the other side of the PCs. But how are we going to cook there, impossible you say: Not so.
Simply open the window and a conveniently placed BBQ with wok burner is at your disposal for delicious meals as displayed below:
The New Backdoor (oooohhhhh Kimmy!!!!)
All this rubble just won’t do – so a very annoying and untrustworthy bobcat guy scraped and towed all the rubbish away. We’ve only had 2 bad tradie experiences so far, him being the worst.
In our next chapter, well be talking about deep holes (ooooh Vinny!!!). Until then.
Very good mate. Not quite as good as mine, but you'll get there!!
