AMAZING!!! You've found your way here!!
The place where I shall be subjecting you to mine Sledge...
Today we will be looking at all of the renovations.... so far...
SO lets start
Here is the house.. Isn't it lovely.....
WRONG!!!!
At this point in time; it is full of termite excretions, there is concrete randomly all over the backyard in some very strange places, those windows that we can see in the image need to be replaced because of termite and rotting issues, the cladding is a horrible colour, trees are pushing over different concrete retaining walls, the back shed and the back additional hallway are full to the brim with asbestos.. hmm.. And oh so much more!! :)
Let the fun begin......
First things first, We removed the front 3 windows, a ridiculous and expensive exercise (but I did learn how to remove windows and replace them with nice new ones) We found that the window frames on 2 of them had been eaten by termites at some stage.
Here is a Picture..
Or two..
Done.. All three windows at the front of the house are now replaced.
There was a beam in the ceiling of the lounge/kitchen area that had been eaten out by termites, see involved picture..
Next, I had the great idea to find out whether the peers underneath our house were at a similar level too each other, turns out, they weren't, so there you go....
This also introduced us to a whole range of NEW little issues that could turn into large issues quickly such as; Drainage around the house, it seems that water was moving underneath our peers which in turn moved the dirt and the level of the peer itself. Mould issues, so we need a "Whirly bird".
ETC
To be continued....
