It's a messy business

The keys left their imprint in the dust.



Manon and Katja braves the conditions to check out the view.

And there was light!

Remember these 2 doors?

Gone! And now there's much more space and light!

And we can see the view from the lounge...

But what a mess to break them out!

It always looks different on the wall

Still getting used to the color. We settled for Plascon Wall n All in the end instead of the rougher textured Micatex.

Lost air vent found

I discovered a hidden air vent under the alley cement.



An unusual but cheap solution using rain gutters. Cement will cover it with only the pipe portruding.

Final week coming up?

Chaos reigns in the kitchen as Cecile paints the bath with a rust primer.



The newly inserted window sans burglar bars, with paint sample on the wall outside.



Shafiek showing how it should be done. It came down easily but they left half of it and left early on Friday??



The courtyard will be much bigger with the service alley included.

New views in the neighbourhood

The old lady across the road told me the house looks impressive from the street below. So I had to have a look. Primer painting in progress.



Just a bit of the parapit sticking out from across the road in front of the house.

Finally... the top floor happens

The freshly screeded floor on the upstairs room.
