A quick snapshot of where we are at with the house renovations. We have been going steady with it since late January (seems like forever). Currently we have no kitchen, dining area or laundry. Luckily we have a toilet & shower in ensuite. I am getting a bit sick of washing up in a plastic bucket and not having an oven to cook in, but apart from that life in our somewhat reduced house is going well.....considering!
Fire places removed (bricks to be recycled as paving). Laundry & toilet demolished
The laundry slab removed
Footing trench & pier holes being dug
Kitchen joinery about to be removed & kitchen demolished
Plasterboard walls demolished - i love the look of exposed weatherboards (except for the 100 year old spider webs & dust)
Roof & walls coming off...
Apparently it is much quicker with the chainsaw!
Walls down
New brick foundation wall and pad footings
Brick retaining wall (with bricks recycled from chimneys that took me hours & hours to clean) Garage in background that we built last year
The framing begins...finally
We have walls!
and the start of a roof
Rafters & ridgeboard in place
Ariel view
This weekend we will hopefully have roof sheeting on and perhaps even some weatherboards!
Hi Rose, looks like you have been very busy at your place, but I don't envy your not having a kitchen. Isn't renovating a fun game? You have a very cute dog.
