ADVERT
CHEAP LABOUR REQUIRED:
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
to build 2 B/R, MES, GRANNY
FLAT, KITCHEN with BICS,
and O/P LNGE and D/R
What started off as an enthusiastic “Let’s quickly build a granny flat for mom” turned into a “money-hungry” mammoth project that has taken a lot longer than we anticipated.
The plan seemed simple … build a 1 or 2 bedroom flatlet, with en-suite bathroom, a neat kitchen and open-plan lounge/dining room area.
Greg knew exactly what he wanted and how to get there … so off to the Architect for some plans … backwards and forwards, forwards and backwards … it seemed at times as though we were going backwards faster than forwards … then … some progress …the plans were ok so we started to demolish existing buildings and dig foundations … what a mess – dust, dust and more red dust!
The along came the cement, stones and sand – sigh … more dust … more mess!
The foundations were laid – it’s at this point that the cement is still soft enough to bury that irritating neighbour that lives behind us … evil tee hee …
Next came some walls, window and door frames, electrical cables being run and plumbing started … 6 months and it’s still a WORK IN PROGRESS …
