Insulation, Demolition and a place for a hot tub

Bubble wrap underneath floor of porch we'd installed yesterday as its a bit close to the ground and that should keep rising water off the chipboard. Bob installed weatherboarding on MBR wall and on back porch under window. Put foil wrap in MBR gaps under the weather boards.
Find lounge bargeboards and soffit planks in ceiling and push out onto roof for future re-installation.
Remove oversize framing in porch filling in old MBR doorway and remove old porch cladding.

Out to pictures that night "Worlds fastest Indian" - a nice feel-good movie made in NZ starring Anthony Hopkins as a speed obsessed Southland codger in the 60's... Found out later that its the most popular film in NZ at the moment (and no rings nor an elf or orc to be seen in any of it)

Thurs Nov10:
Demolish rest of lining in old porchway and WC. Walked around exterior of house removing unused attatchments - lights, down spouting braces, nails, bits of wood, wiring, knobs etc.
Darryl the Digger was digging out dirt piled behind house, levelling the ground and making a Hot Tub alcove/terrace. He piled the dirt up into two mini-mountains (One we'll profile same
as Mt Taranaki, the other as the Southern alps.. (:-)) alongside the hedge.
Looks very good if you like terraces and can see the virtual Hot tub.

After that Peter stood in the digger bucket and commanded movement up/down/left/right to get up to Lounge gable to remove the old gable bracing added on for the house move. They then replaced the old bargeboard and soffit planks above the MBR/Lounge corner.
I helped Shonagh place the sawdust we collected on the weekend around the driverway rocks (we'll need some more).
(My Sister) Christine, John and their daughter Kait came by for John to see the house for the first time.. Think he was a bit underwhelmed at what the place was like at the moment (:-)
