Demolition fences are gone

All remnants of our old house is gone. The main part of our house was built on top of huge sandstone slab, so we assume that they will have to dig out all the rocks out of the ground next.

Empty Plot

Demolition continues

Our neighbour sent me an SMS to let me know that a big excavator came in today to bulldoze our house down. They have done the front room (which used to be our bedroom) and will work again tomorrow to get the house down to brick foundation.

Our old house is finally disappearing! It feels more exciting than sad to see that it is going. The old house was falling apart around us as we lived in it for the last 5 1/2 years, and it was about time it's bulldozed!

However I did feel just a little sentimental when I saw the lavender blue colour of our older son's bedroom wall paint. This was the room that we brought him home from the hospital. Memories of all the late night feedings and sleepless nights came flashing by but they went away quickly too. We are in a new chapter of our lives.

Start of Demolition

Our neighbour called me yesterday and told me that the demolition company came around to take a look at the house and would start demolition work today.

We went to take a look on the way home from our son's daycare pickup and took some photos. They have taken the roof tiles off first, and then will work their way down.

Some updates missing

Need to add events for September and October. Been a bit lazy. Will get to it later.
