DEMOLITION HAS BEGUN!!!

So, we had been told by our 'Demo Guy' that he would be getting started on Saturday. As we are curious creatures, we packed the boys into the car, drove our 1/2 mile down the road and began celebrating in the car as we pulled into the driveway and could see significant work had been done already, and this was only day 1 of demolition! We're hoping this process will be completed in about 1 - 1/2 weeks! Apparently, they did as much of the 'salvage' work as they could today, taking floor boards, oven, cooling and heating systems, basins, etc. The next step is to remove the roof tiles (and/or roof itself) and the eave's of the house (which contain asbestos), before knocking down the house completely. This part takes the most care and time for obvious reasons, but the actual knockdown once the eave's are removed, should only take about 1/2 a day!

The only other bit of news to update is that we received our Council 'full' approval for the garage to be built over the easement. This is the final piece of paperwork on our end needed so Henley can now apply for the building permit. I will update the blog again when we know that the building permit has been obtained and throughout the demolition process as well.

Here's some pictures of Saturday's work, with hopefully more to come very soon!
