10, 9, 8, 7...Demo about to begin, 3, 2, 1...

The Demolition of the Purple Palace is about to take place. The tenants moved out yesterday.

The hot water system is gone (hopefully the plumber did this as arranged 2 weeks ago, and it wasn't stolen - haven't heard from the plumber since 2 weeks ago)
The electricity meter has been removed by ETSA

The lovely looking gum tree to be removed because of borers :-(


View from the back of the house.
The significant tree has approval to be removed. Our new house will finish where that tree currently is.

The distance of our future back yard, from the significant tree to the fence. About 14m. Still a very nice size by todays standards.


Hopefully I can post updates of the demolition in the next day or two.
Our CSA today in an email said "It will all start happening for you now. It's an exciting time though it can be a bit stressful to some but just enjoy the ride as in the end you will have a beautiful new home to show for it."
It's getting exciting. We will soon see action!

Oooohh!! How exciting for you Guy's! I remember demo day, I shed a few tears as the huge excavator smashed down on what was our first home...

..haven't looked back since! Best wishes!

Thanks Stormy. Yes I remember your demolition. Doesn't seem like that long ago, yet you have come so far. At least this house has no sentimental value to us as it was tenanted out. Unlike your house which was your home previously. I hope things turn out for us as well as they have for you.
