The stairs issue

We are not happy with the stairs. There are extra steps and other modifications that we didnt sanction. The tread is also only 22cm.



Some weird stuff happening here.

The back yard starts looking like a million dollars

Suffering because of ugly cracked walls?



Viola. Nothing a bit of cement cannot fix.

(Hopefully) No more rising damp

The alley has been lowered and the angle adjusted so the water now actually flow out!

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.
