ffs

Just go have a kebab and wrap a shirt around yer face, garlic sauce will keep you safe from the chit.

Also hose the crap first.

Problem solved.

Stage one demolition happened today. 
the removal of the old flooring and doors etc. 

 

it’s been 18 months of sheer red tape and grief filled hell but 2020 is finally happening. The house turned 100 this year so it only seems fitting for it to be this year it’s being demolished. 
 

found some treasures like an old can of salvital and some papers from the 1960s which are super cool!

so cool fluff keep a look out for all sorts of interesting buried things

 

jog my memory whats happening, demo the whole thing or reno? 

Demolition and building two homes with a full subdivision. 
 

Both 2 story, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathroom, 2 living, with large alfresco areas. One for us one for my mum. We are leaving the backyard unfenced so we still have 250m2 of backyard for the kids to play in and possibly for an unground pool.

ah yep that's right

 

that place full of asbestos too surely? 

Nah none. 
1920s original bungalow, no asbestos just old rotting timber, red brick and plaster. 

lucky

 

they dont just bulldoze with an excavator over there? 

Old houses have heritage stuff that’s valuable like the original flooring, light fixtures, led light windows and doors etc. they salvage what they can including the red bricks. 
Reclaimed bricks are worth a pretty penny nowadays since they came into fashion. 
 

we’re saving some to build a pathway to the front doors. 

oh yes that's good, and good idea to keep a few items to put back into the new build 

 

well done fluff

 

does the house have a name ?
