25th October

More demolition occurred today. The old industrial air-conditioner looks about to depart. More timber has arrived and the steel beams are  ready to  be placed into position. There is a problem with a young woman who lives in a flat further down the road who keeps parking in the Construction Zone ( "Oh I forgot!") and impeding the unloading and loading of materials. Greg's patience isn't infinite. I hope she starts remembering soon!

Ian, our friendly "Cable Guy" has researched a wireless system called Sonos. It looks terrific. Being able to be "cable-less" will be a definite advantage. Ian is rearing to go with things like dish and antenna placement too.

I sent off some of my hierloom chairs (from Gosford) to be rejuvenated and re-upholstered today so they will look snazzy in the new environment.

Lester is back at work today. I told him not to bother to complain to the landlord about noise disturbance. She would only tell him to get back to work and earn the money to pay for it!

Once this wall goes and the air-conditioning duct is removed, this whole area will open up significantly.

The three beams ready to be lifted into place.

A mysterious little window has appeared through the tiles in the old shower recess upstairs. Unlike the other windows which were entombed within a wall, this one opens out into the big wide world, overlooking the car park out the back. This place is full of surprises!
