After a number of years looking for a new house we've to decide to pull down our old house and build new.
After two false starts with other builders (this cost us a bit of cash being two lots of pre-start fees but we learned a lot), we have finally signed a contract and are starting out new build with Breezeway House.
THe old house was cut in half and taken away to NSW and put back together on a property so it still lives on. The rest of the block was cleared by a recycling company so all up none of it went to landfill.
Plans are already in with council with a start on site scheduled for Jan/Feb.
The process (in pics) so far.....

| The original house. |
| Step one of the house removal was to strip trees from front. |
| Then cut the house in half (longways to fit on trailer). |
| Slide steel beams under the house so..... |
| .....it can be slid over onto the trailer. |
| 1st night move - half the house is going. |
| 2nd half in position on trailer ready to be hooked up |
| The midnight hook up. |
| Drive up the street missing power lines and trees. |
| Bye bye house! |
| House is gone, but garage and "concrete pier garden" still to be removed. |
| Vacant block - ready to start in the new year! |
