The Dilemnas continue

As if having a sewer main down the side ofmy property is not enough, I now have discovered I have an asbestos fence which needs to be removed professionally at an exhorbitant price, have 1 quote for $1000 for 12 sheets of asbestos, but will be seeking more prices.

This is the offending piece of fence.

Progress Update

Planning approval has come through from the Town of Victoria Park, now in for building appro.

My pre-start selection now done, consultant came to my house on Saturday afternoon, after redisigning the bathroom and choosing the final selections all is done and locked in, I can no longer change my mind like I have done about 3 times with the exterior colours.
The brick paving is coming up slowly. oh the cleaning is the biggest pain, but at least they will be ready to be laid straight back down after the mess is cleared.

But they have met their match here that is for damn sure.

The Plan (not)

The silly scanner not wanting to work, so the plan is still not on here.  I am going to take it to work and scan it on Tuesday and put it up.
Well have spent several hours this week and this morning lifting paving bricks, cleaning then and stacking them out of the way, about 15sq.m done with millions still to go.  Gotta get that Stevie onto it.
The yard is starting to look bare, sandy and desolate, oh well all in the name of progress. Must get worse before it is better.
No pictures to add today.

The Start of the Clearing






Half the garden has been cut down, it's so bare, we couldn't finish as chainsaw broke down, so off to the shop to get fixed tommorow and hopefully finish after work Monday.
