It's true - the meeting with the engineer went well, and so now it's full steam ahead at the house (well at least on the days that Greg can spend time there). He's pulled out a wall already, the asbestos is being removed (by a professional thankfully!) next week and hopefully some real progress on things like plumbing, bathrooms, termite damage repair etc. will all commence in some form or another in January when things slow down at the shop a little and he can take a day of holidays each week to keep things moving... Greg is very excited about the whole project - it's a big change from the shop all the time, and he's enjoying that as well.
It's rather exciting, and yet it seems that everytime the girls and I visit there is more damage and mess - Ellen was going to growl at Daddy for making such a big mess today and tell him to clean it up...fortunately I heard her verbalise her plan before she carried it out and cut her off at the pass! The timeframes for the new house are unknown to us, and therefore even more confusing for Ellen, who is very keen to decorate her new room and make it special - the time will come, but I think 'talk is cheap' is starting to play on her mind.
One last piece of news - Greg informed me that when he was in the ceiling recently he found a snake skin which was about 6 foot long above the area where the bedrooms are - now isn't that a comforting thought! This house is full of surprises, not all of which are pleasant!!!
