Demolition Part two

The demolition has for the past few months been difficult to pin down. Originally slated to start first week of March after the demolition license was issued mid Feb, by end of April, and several phone calls later, we called int he Builders with their more hefty might to get things moving. Initially, they got the same response as we did for 2 months, within the next 2 weeks; however, this time it turned out to be almost true.  They began removing the asbestos within 2 weeks, and over the next 2 weeks managed to turn up a maximum of 4 days.

After a bit of a stall, and another call from the builder a big machine and a big truck turned up, to sit still for a week. J joked that our demolisher had hired out our lot to his mates as a parking space.

Finally, on a Thursday, the day after Colleen came to visit, I got a text from her saying they had started. I got a bit excited and wanted to come home to see some of it to take photos before heading back to work.

Clearing on Friday and Saturday Morning and the Big Machine was on its way. 

bye bye big machine

They did miss a small bottle brush up the back which they said they will get with the bobcat when they come to clear up, hopefully monday?

We decided to leave the palm after discovering it could be worth a bit to sell, and even if we can't sell it it should look good in the garden we have planned for that house

I plan to instruct the builders not to pay them until it is all gone.

A further update when it is all done...
