Demolition Day #3


Not unlike the ruins at Pompeii!

Seriously, I can't believe the pace this demolition is moving at. It's all due to George, our labourer who is visiting Australia from Greece. Our communication is obviously limited, but I gave him watermelon, so I think he likes me. He also gets along amazingly well with George II (our neighbour) and I imagine he will also like George III (our brickie.)

Demolition Day #2



I have to admit I quite liked the results of day 2. It was like having an outdoor patio area. I almost could have kept it.

Demolition Day #1

The shed took a walk down to the back of the yard to serve it's new purpose as a portaloo. That's right, Theo worked out that we could cheaply plumb a toilet right into the sewage line and use the shed to provide shelter, thus saving the money we would have spent hiring a portaloo for months of construction. Are you surprised to know that the plumbers have nicknamed him "tightarse" (in Greek of course!)
