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.

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.

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.
