Week 1 Reno - Eviction and Demolition

Well after 12 months in the making we've finally started with the reno. What a mission it's been but we've finally made it to this point. We managed to pick up a rental about 300 meters down the road. It's a bit of a hovel but we'll survive. The more was pretty uneventful outside of being the first 30 degree weekend of the year. 

Week one was primarily demolition. For some reason I thought they'd drive a bobcat down the driveway and knock the place down but they've been methodically decomposing it by hand. It's been really fun to walk past each night after work to see the progress. 

Seeing the place with the floor and roof gone has really made it real for us. The builder is estimating a 6-7 month build so all being well we'll be back in there late April to May next year.

In the meantime we're trying to make the most of our new Taj.

Bye bye Lewies, it's been a pleasure in the book corner here.
