the year of the renovation... (part one)

this is what we've been doing all year!!!!

(late february) first we pulled the old sunroom and strange downstairs bathroom off...


joel and mate chris in their radiation suits packing up some asbestos...




peekaboo! after pulling down the chimney and removing the old woodheater...


living in a shanty

(Rakaia and i went to NZ for a month while things got messier. When we got back we all stayed with friends for another couple of months until the house was habitable again)


digging stump holes...


the wasteland...


Joel and Rob the builder putting down the floor




(mid march) the frame goes up.
Starting to look like a house again! but still a long way to go...

(3 weeks later)


Joel loved getting his hands (and everything else) dirty!
He took 5 weeks off work to help Rob and learnt HEAPS.
