G'Day Gents
Still alive in the land of a Thousand killer animals.
Thought you deserved an update. The block now is mainly cleared, thanks to my Brother in Law, moving onto the Block with his Caravan and rolling his sleeves up, under all that grass was a Septic tank (in need of a lid, duly fitted) a 10 meter x 3meter Concrete pad, I think somebody had a van here years ago !
The house roof has been patched and no longer leaks, the lean to has also had it's holes plugged. The walls of the house have had cement sheeting applied to all the damaged bits and again are now waterproof.
All of the old floor coverings have been removed, old newspapers under the 'Lino' have been dated to 1923, reporting the Death of President Harding in November of that year ! Most of the walls have been cleaned, but will require painting, some will need replacing due to water damage.
Some of the wood framing has been eaten by White ants, I'm replacing them with new treated timber. Some of the walls in the lean to are really only hanging from the roof, as the ants have eaten the lower timbers, the walls Sway in the wind ???
The toilet has been hooked up to the Septic tank and water has been connected to the Bathroom hand-basin/bath/shower, both caravans are direct plumbed to the water supply.
Here's a few pics.
