Anyways...enough about the weather...we're FINALLY starting some work on the house. well, sort of. The asbestos on the garage was removed on Friday...roof, external walls, internal walls (office), and ceiling were all asbestos and are all now gone! So, now we're just trying to get the area ready for the colourbond sheets to be installed and then for some new garage doors! It will be almost good as new!
Our rickety garage with asbestos fully removed!
Andy and I managed to remove the old accordian-style garage door to allow us to pull the trailer into the back corner.
It's hard to believe there was so much asbestos out here. And I talked to the previous owner last week and told her we were having the asbestos removed. She said, "oh the roof? We were told it was safe because we had it sealed." They didn't know that most of the rest of the building was asbestos as well! Craziness!
Also managed to put up the Christmas tree last weekend while I was home "sick".
Well, that's about all that's going on around here at the moment. We're currently speaking to 3 builders at the moment still trying to get an acceptable quote. They are all coming up with their recommendations as well with respect to how the final layout looks. It's been good getting some other ideas, so we'll hopefully find out a bit more over the next few weeks, and we'll try to keep you posted.
We're also planning to start the upstairs bathroom renovations relatively soon. We've got names for plumbers, electricians, etc to help us sort that out on a owner-manager type project...should be interesting! :)
