The journey started 8 months ago with a massive clean up and out, we spent approx 6 weeks stripping the old home of anything salvageable then in July 2009 had a massive combined garage and demolition sale hundreds of people dropped in for a bargain.
August 2009 the house was bulldozed down and the journey really got started.
September the pad was levelled then left for approx 4 weeks before further work began.
Then to come home one night in late September to find the concrete had been poured this was exciting
And last Friday night DH and myself had hand over for the keys and the next journey together in our new home on the old homestead site......
Finally would like to add the the journey over the past few months has been - expressed with blood- sweat- tears- anxiety- frustration- uncertaintiy- laughter-
would I do it all again' sure because I know a little bit more now than I did 8 months ago (chuckle)
Until next time - take care ----- Marc
