It's not a reality show, its a real reno

Pinaster Place is half renovation & half rebuild.



Its a re-invention of our family home, and so far, its been all on paper. Work began in October 2010, and the builders have set a cracking pace.



Well, the original 12-month completion is a few months behind, but we're so close to finishing it! (And we're going mental in the rental!)

Sparkly Taps in Parent's Bathroom
Retaining walls are going up. Finally, this gives some form to the sand dune on which the house sits! Good work, Foxy!


Hugo will miss his Adventure Playground
when all this building stuff is over!

Looking Forward To A Stain & Polish

More Lovely Stairs - French Oak

Laying the Boards Inside

Worker's Stuff

Grainy Oak Boards

Stacks of Floor Boards

Risers


 The lovely French oak stairs have been installed.

Clear Felling


Some more views of the build, with the scrubby street trees gone from under the power lines.

Stump & Grind


 The big tree is now a big stump. Pity to cut down full sized trees, but this was below power lines and dropping needles in which nothing would ever grow. We will find some beautiful replacements.
