Preparing for the demolition!

Finally, finally we are ready for work to begin on our extension!
The builders are arriving at 7.30 tomorrow morning and will be with us all week.  The plan for the week is to demolish all of the out buildings and dig the foundations.  But before this can happen we had to finish emptying the out buildings and poor Kei had to remove the asbestos panels from the roof!
First moving the tumble drier and freezer into the kitchen:



Next the removal of the roof and giving away the old coal bunker:




I'm at work until 7pm tomorrow. I imagine by the time I get home at 7.45 all this will be gone! End of an era and the start of a whole new one :0)

Projects from the past week

I've had a busy week this week with lots going on at work and lots oftidting and throwing things into a skip to prepare for our extension.
I've finally got my house scrapbook up to date.  I'm using the Pink Paislee album and varied page protectors.  I bought this last year fot One Little Word, but as I dodn't do as well on that project as I'd hoped I wanted to use it for something better.
Here it is so far... ... ...
The first page:
















The second page shows the plans and includes journaling and more plans tucked behind a transparency.  The facing page in the album is all the building reg info we will need as work begins. I wanted this to be a working scrapbook!!

















I used the split page protector to document the dramas of getting a mortgage extension to pay for the work:






















And to document tidying the garage using Instax photos!























I'm liking this scrapbook already :-)
