It All Starts Today!

The house before renovation. Cant wait for the work to start and to not have the dodgiest house on the street anymore!

We had to cut down all of the trees. It was sad to see the Cherry tree go but we cant have a garage with a tree in it!

Digger is digging. We are digging down a meter to enable the bedrooms to be almost on the same level as the rest of the house. 

 Pile of dirt at the end of the day. The builders are having trouble getting rid of the soil as it has to much green matter in it (grass & roots) so the quarry wont accept it. This means it is taking longer as they need to do to different places to dump the dirt. The Blue hose is from the burst water pipe that the digger broke through. No water for 2 hours but luckily I had 10 litres of water for emergencies to use.

Not so keen about the porta loo under lachlans bedroom window. hopefully they can move it once the excavation work is complete.
