While the Cat's Away......

Johan has been back in KZN going on two months now and it appears that when he is bored he breaks down a little more of our house.....

The idea was that while he is there and before we move back, he renovate!!!!!!  Renovate being the operative word I think. I do seem to remember him saying something a few weeks ago about how Wilfred likes to destroy and every day that he arrives home after a days work, there are bigger holes and more rubble.  Not being there to see for myself though it is difficult to visualize what is happening.

Well within minutes this evening I had two messages come through to my phone...one from Sara and one from Jess.  Both have been to Willow Lane today and both are intrigued by what is going on.  Sara's response to it all is that at least Wilfred is guaranteed of a job for a while!!!!!!

Here are some photo's that Jess sent...not all great but anyway you will get an idea.....and hopefully sometime soon there will be some progress photos to show....lol

 Matthew and Johan checking something... from the front of the house looking onto the verandah.  Plaster removed from wall.  Gutters Removed.  Eaves coming down Some roof tiles removed to reveal trusses.

 The end of the house is just a shell.  This is the dressing room off the main bedroom. Everything removed - fittings, flooring and plaster

 The ensuite bathroom...also stripped.  This is the outlet pipe for the toilet.

 Looking from the dressing room to the main bedroom.  There was a huge fireplace and chimney which has been removed - hence the pile of bricks.  The ceiling has also been removed.

 The bathroom...the bath used to be against the end wall (right hand side wall)

 This photo is a mystery...lol...not too sure where this one is

 I think this is the ceiling of the front verandah...being removed to reveal the trusses and roof tiles

 Looking up at the roof extension over the french door in the bedroom

 Taken from the side of the house...I think again!!!!  This is the outside of the bedroom

Front view of the extension leading into the bedroom
