In-between the multitude of work going on, jackhammers and angle grinders making an enormous racket and people walking to and from we still had the enormous pleasure of watching animals big and small passing by.
They even come to visit us and inspect the work done thusfar.

After a few weeks the "old place is nicely taking shape.
New tile floors has been laid.
New doors have been hanged and the electricity has been made up to date.
The kitchen has been upgraded to facilitate the creating of much needed exquisite meals and refreshments.

After we bought the plot with an old farmhouse we started the rebuild in the beginning of July 2016.
We removed all the old "stuff" and found many unexpected treasures between everything the previous owners left behind.

And this is how it is turning out to be

Two weeks ago the old stoep (porch) roof was removed and a start with the new look was made.
Locally found dead Leadwood trees are being used for the columns.
A beautiful grass roof is now covering the stoep where one can sit in the shade while watching the animals pass by.

The big rebuild has started.
Enormous amounts of debris lying everywhere.
The amount of work that has been done in the first few days boggles the mind.
Slowly but surely everything has been cleared away and it is now ready for the makeover.
