News of my house - pictures The clean-up work started two weeks ago:
They should finish this week, then get around to scaffolding and reinforcing/rebuilding the neighboring walls... it's a townhouse sort of structure. | |

Do you plan to rebuild it as it was before, or you'll take the chance and make some changes.
Women always have ideas about changing distributions and such | |

Women always have ideas about changing distributions and such oh my, we are adding a master bath and pantry to the kitchen, for two. nice american ideas. we had one huge bathroom upstairs, now we'll have two smaller ones. overall, however, we've simplified the structure for more openness and light. | |

well... considering what it was two weeks ago, this is progress! it was full of rubble and burnt things before... really a horrible mess, and seemed hopeless. now we see a light at the end of the tunnel... | |
